Today I had a conversation with icl director. I will shortly receive a pay rise (more than most) but I will only be promoted to site engineer...not senior engineer as hoped.
I will be pulled out if secondment early to start work on site in the waky new police station.
Frustrating part is that I will be required to act as a senior engineer and 'report to the con man' - something I have been doing for last four years.
If he comes back with a pay rise that takes me to 33k then I'll be happy....I'll have the pay rise and hold tight for a further pay rise and change in title.
If the pay rise is less than 20% I will sit tight, do my job to the best of my ability, sit my chartership exam and then start looking for another job. I will not threaten to leave, I will find a job, hand in my notice and leave. I would only stay if icl offer me more money (but I refuse to tell them what the new offer, even if it exists, is)
All of this ambition relies upon two things:
1.
Me being as good ad I think I am....which in practice I'm probably not.
2.
There being other jobs that I have a reasonable chance of getting.
I can't walk away from a job that pays for a roof over my head, it's a time served industry and there's nothing I can do to change it....ambition will eventually be found annoying by my superiors.
