Grown people problems

          So not to steer away from a more positive outlook in my blogs which is what I've been trying to do. I need to vent about a situation at work. To start I applied for a promotion at work and received a position that was a promotion but it didn't actually come with a promotion. I was originally disappointed but excited that I would be learning a new role. However within days of accepting my the position a previous position that I have been dying to apply for posted. So I checked with my manager and he gave me the green light due to business need. So I went for it. Aced the interview and was told by everyone that I had it in the bag. So on I went thinking that I was getting the position I wanted and the promotion that came with it until all of a sudden I got a call from my boss telling me that because I had accepted the first role that I could not be moved into the role that I wanted.
          Lets just say I had a few choice words and was honestly broken hearted about the whole thing. So tomorrow I'm going to talk to upper management and see if I can express my position and see if I can get a vote to move to the position I want. ultimately I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst. So wish me luck in pleading my case.

  1. One thing to keep in mind. Make your plea towards all the benefits the company would gain from your being in the position. Good Luck!!!
