Good news is I had my annual review today…and I didn’t get fired!
Bad news is, I found out that my other two counterparts are being promoted in January, and I’m not. In fact, I could still get let go at that point. I’m not out of the water and I don’t think I will be unless something changes drastically.
I suppose I should be happy for myself for keeping my job, but I’m livid. My two colleagues have both been promoted since I joined the company nearly three years ago (to the same Senior Manager title that I have), and I have yet to be promoted once (in title, anyway - though I’ve gotten loads more responsibility since I’ve joined the company). I also probably make more $$$ than they do, AND I have a partnership in the company and they don’t, but I’m still so disappointed by everything right now.
I need to get my ass in gear and start moving towards another job, but I have been so overly busy and just exhausted by the time I get home from work every night. Even on the weekends, I just want to forget about the work week as much as possible.
I’m prepping for my next China trip and it takes tons of preparation and energy.
I need to stop comparing myself to my colleagues, but it’s very hard. That’s why I”m writing it here. One counterpart is a manipulative, brown-nosing bitch, and the other is an awesome guy - I’m just so heartbroken to hear that they are getting promoted and we were at one time kind of all in this together, sort of. Yes, life is truly every man for himself.
I did get good comments on how great a boss I am, so there’s something.
Still. I just want to take a break for a while.
I love you.
