This is such a childish post that I must admit myself. I am fucking pissed today. I went into a TEAMS call this morning with all the team leads. While I hover the mouse over each individual then I realize that everyone is promoted. Everyone on the call is promoted. I am like the loser still with the same title after 4 years.
This is probably one of the cons of working from home for the last 3 years. I am left out of all the perks and promotions. No doubt I enjoy all the good stuff working from home, I save time on my commute, I save on work clothes, and I save on my lunch allowance. However, my working hours are longer as I work after the children go to bed until midnight. I was spearheading the few most difficult projects over the last few years. I put my heart and soul into work and I feel good when projects hit certain milestones.
I just wondered why those guys who are not even as competent as me got promoted. I am not been arrogant here. I know what I can accomplish and why I was put into a few high-profile projects and led a team of people to execute them. In short, I know where I stand.
Why am I working? Don’t sound noble bitch. I am here for the money. I am selling time for money. Why am I bitching around? Just get the salary, work from home and you get to see your family. Use the salary and buy your freedom. Pave yourself towards your financial goals. Don’t need to be eyes sore just because people got their promotions and you are left out.
Focus on your financial goals.
Those are permanent and real stuff. Don’t chase titles, those are gone with the wind the moment you lose your job. Jobs are temporary. They can be lost in seconds. Make a mistake, you are out. Industry downturn, you are out. Company restructure, you are out.
