Just received a bonus instead of a promotion. Honestly I'd rather have the new title over the $$. Can I talk to my director about that? Like if I give the money back can I have a promotion instead? 😂

Why? Titles don’t pay bills.

No. Take the money and be happy. If you think you deserve a promotion, deal with that separately. A bonus is a reward for work done. A promotion is an expectation of future work. Not the same thing b

Agencies prefer bonuses over promotions and raises. Think about the compounding interest on 3%-6% raises over a decade. We’re talking about tens of thousands they’re locked into paying you every year, this way they can just repeat the same amount and it makes most people go away. As far as the promotion thing, this is how they make you look like an ingrate if you ask for more. “We just gave you a bonus? Wasn’t that enough?!!"

They can't and won't take the money back. Ask for both. Express your gratitude about the bonus. Say you need the title too. Not want.
