Feel stuck professionally. Moved to an internal role due to circumstances. Salary has been practically flat since. Tried to get promoted last year, didn’t happen. Trying to find a new job since...

Hasn’t happened yet. Feel so frustrated.

Hey OP — sorry to hear that. How did things go down with the promotion? Did you actively ask for one? And, what does flat mean (ie 2-3% raises) and how long has it been flat?

Switching companies can often up your salary, but it comes with other stressors too.

Any tips for helping to get operations work recognized? I’m officially in ops but cover programs, business, and catch-all organizational needs. In the last year we rebranded and scaled 500% (staff, program offerings, funding) and I was the sole employee covering organizational ops at 100% during that time. When I proposed a title and compensation review, I was told I didn’t achieve enough impact. Unfortunately skills in project management and operations are not weighed heavily in comp reviews.

Went full tilt at the company Christmas party last night. Like eating a quarter pounder in an Uber at 3a wasted. Told our front desk admin (who does not report to me) she didn’t need to come in today and that I would cover her desk. Got a bunch of people to steal shit from the event space and forgot about it until i opened my work bag today. Told a colleague who was wearing leather and fur that i liked her ‘slaughter my own clothes’ aesthetic. Also my first time meeting 99% of the company 🤩
