You realize an average rating means you are meeting all expectations right? You will be promoted no issue

Very likely you’ll get promoted assuming you’re not on a PIP - the system is very lockstep

How badly does your office need seniors? Average is fine if there’s a lot of below average things it could be an issue

Depends how desperate your group is with retaining staff. I have seen terrible people promoted at times of desperation.

I was rated sometimes as a staff across the board and was made senior

It depends on office politics. Office politics are heavy in ey. Variables such as age, sex and ethnicity are factors that can be used to discriminate individuals seeking promotion

That is the definition of discrimination. That being said, im not looking for some big debate about it. I’ll let SC1 pickup the baton if s/he likes

As a staff you'll either be promoted or fired at the end of your staff 2 year. A little sarcasm there. A bit of truth too!

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?
