    Default I got Promoted

    Congratulate me here
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    My condolences Strike, each promotion means more responsability and makes it harder for you spend your loot (or you just blow it quicker).

    Cobblers. In so many jobs increased responsibility equates not only more money but also more security. Certainly in my jobs I've had ot work less hard as I've progressed but think more.

    I've cosen a career where the word "promotion" doesn't exist.

    And I'm perfectly happy with that. Thinking about it, I actually started at the highest position....

    I "aim" (and I readily admit my chances of success are <1%) to become CMO of a Big Pharma company. It's not the money or the power really. It's the need to achieve.

    hmm. If your scaling the ladder has not resulted in you "working" (playing with stress toys, browsing the interenet... ) more hours in the day, then you're onto a cushy number.

    The higher I've come, the more I've taken work home with me -even if just in my head. Job security certainly does increase as your skills grow, in-line (hopefully!) with worth to the company/organisation.
