My company seems to promote more based on tenure than performance and it’s affecting my motivation. Do most finance teams reward high performers, or is this just how it works?

That’s frustrating! From what I’ve seen, it really depends on the company. Some teams truly reward performance, but others lean heavily on tenure and time served. If promotions don’t tie to impact, it’s usually more about that specific culture than the whole industry.

It should be a mixture of both.

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?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing.
