HARMLU Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 In my opinion, money is a bi-product of a job. To put it simply, if you are not happy in your job, change it. Look at different jobs and see if the terms and conditions work for you. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Congrats commander, good for you. So i had another sit down with my boss today after he'd had a chance to discuss my requests with the MD. It's still in progress waiting to be confirmed and the role fully fleshed out, but they have agreed to change my role, giving me more of what i want. Promotion to 'Team Leader' (this is the only bad point - i wanted a management role, but there just isnt a position, so this is the best i can get until someone leaves). 4 direct reports Freedom to make strategic decisions and shape my teams working practices Input into the future direction of our product Ownership of internal projects and initiatives which are due to be rolled out 10% payrise Commitment to my future (career path mapped out post Team Leader role, and enrollment on all relevant Management/Commercial training courses available through the company). Overall i'm reasonably happy. The new responsibilities and payrise are great, but the job title is a (not unexpected) let down. I think this is probably enough to keep me happy for the next 6-12 months, but i dont see it as a long term solution. On a side note - I had a call from a former colleague tonight who works for one of our main competitors - and he was ringing to offer me a job!! Sadly it was for the same role i'm doing now, but i told him if he'd called me 24 hours earlier it might have been a different conversation, but i'd have to say no. I didnt ask about the salary, but it would have had to have been a massive step up for me to stab my current employers in the back (and ruin what would be an excellent reference). Ho hum.

Commander Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Congrats! Sounds to me like they're trying pretty hard to keep you - new job title, some direct reports, freedom to make strategic decisions, commitment to train you up and influence over your business' operations... Aside from wanting 'manager' in your job title, I'm not sure what's missing if I'm honest?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
