My boss is moving to another area of the business for a promotion. If I apply for his old job, I think I have a good chance at getting the job, but how do I not make it awkward managing people who are my current peers? On a personal note, most like me, but 1 colleague in particular does not like me. Advice on how to handle that relationship if I end up getting this job? If I don’t apply, I’ve been told it’ll look bad for my career development

I was in this position. I asked each of my new directs a series of questions in our first 1-1 to learn more about their preferred ways of working, how I could support them, and where they need me to immediately plug-in. I also asked them to create a semi-detailed KT deck so that we can slowly review it together for my onboarding of their work. This helped me gain their trust and level-set our manager/direct report relationship from the start

Is chasing promotion is a losing game? Is it better to get the experience I need for the exit instead of just killing myself doing everything the firm wants me to do so they can consider promoting me?

A report opened to me that they are having money problems and wants a raise. We are remote and they moved to a high CoL city. We gave an increase to help with retention 6mths ago. In my response, I helped mentor with best practices on how to ask for a raise professionally since I need to make a case to my Head on finances. But their performance has been avg and not seemingly worthy of another large raise within a short period of time. But how do I respond when they talk about personal finances?

I’ve asked about my so called promotion and I just keep getting more into the future dates. Also company is trying to make their # so cutting down on costs. At this point I gave up on asking...is it

I got a promotion a year and 3 months ago, and got a pay raise 5 months ago. Could I still ask for a promotion to SAE if I have been supporting a team more as one? Promotions are hard to stab with.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Got the call today about promotion - super excited for this next leg. Also a bit nervous given performance expectations and the market right now.

Hey guys. I’m looking for some advice on a new promotion to Radiology Supervisor. It’s a great opportunity and I know I will be great in the position. The only problem is I’m worried about the issues it may create. I’m pretty fresh out of school (<2yrs) while my peers have 5-10+ years of experience. I know it’s going to cause some tension, and some may even quit. Any advice on how to navigate the situation?
