    Grin PG the promoted asian D:

    :D!

    So I'm currently being trained for a new position. Initially I was a phone monkey solving people's general software/pc problems. Now I'm...I guess a different kind of monkey managing people's emails.

    Have you been promoted at whichever job you work at? If you don't work, what is it like being a hippie?

    Being a hippie is great.

    I never stuck around long enough at my first job to get promoted. xD

    Congratulations PG =O!

    I've never been promoted at anything, but I like it that way. I fold under any kind of pressure whatsoever. I can't even choose a type of toothbrush without help, so greater responsibility is probably not good.

    Given that I've only been in my job for a few months, I'm obviously fastly approaching promotion to company president but as of yet it's not occurred yet. To be serious, I am hoping to be promoted from being just temporary staff to actually being a proper member of staff if that's a promotion. In the grand scheme of things, I'd like a promotion in terms of the work I'm doing from standing at a till to doing something more worthwhile.

    I am likely up for an unpaid promotion in the near future.

    I do not get any additional training since I know how to perform the job, already. My salary will not increase because the company is under a salary freeze and I am paid quite a lot of money for someone my age, so I feel like I should not complain.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Being a hippie is fantastic, though when I apply at the local McDonald's, I'll more than likely be hired 'cause they're hurting for workers atm, so I won't be a hippie for much longer.

    Congrats PG!~

    At my current job, I started as a lowly dishwasher. Though I did my job well enough and was curious enough when I had nothing to do to start being trained as a cook. Eventually I was doing both jobs at once. Now I just do prep work. It is awesome not being a dishwasher anymore. Plus I got a dollar raise with it as well. I was getting minimum wage before hand.

    Being a hippie rocks its the most mind expanding experience one can have and the trips we take are awesome.

    i worked the same job five years and no promotion (course thats because theres only like 3 job classes in the whole company)

    and ive never worked anywhere else long enough for promotions though most of the places i worked were factories... does it count as a promotion if you move from a temp to an actual employee

    All substitute teachers are equal and receive the same hourly pay. Since I just started I'm at the bottom of the seniority ladder, though, so I won't get the first calls.

    At my previous job I got two raises in two years, but never an official promotion.
