After Several Years, Finally Promoted at Work

JBKO · ‎12-16-2011

I'll keep this brief, but I want to thank those of you who gave me positive words of encouragement and advice throughout the last year. My hard work was finally recognized and I couldn't be happier. It all coincided with the departure of one of my superiors who had such a negative influence on my career; he constantly overlooked me for openings. I hope and pray to never have to encounter someone like that in the future. I don't want to be negative but I also want to address some of you who had such harsh words during my difficult job search. You cannot pretend to know every single detail of one person's life especially someone on a forum and then go on to constantly berate and belittle them. I'll be vulnerable now and admit that it felt so awful. Looking back, I have to say that I'm so happy to have been the one being unfairly criticized than then one being the perpetrator. I can confidently say that I don't knock people when they're down. And I'm really not down; my job is in one of the World Financial Buildings. Again, thank you all who were so sweet and kind to me!

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Your job search can be terminated now that you have accepted the new position. Hope it came with a raise in pay. This must make you feel very fulfilled.

Congrats JBKO on your well deserved promotion at work. The Corporate workplace is challenging and competitive. Bravo on persevering. Also, relating to your other comment- unfortunately, some posters have become a bit nasty on some of these forums. Try not to pay attn...

Congratulations, I hope the superior who made things difficult didn't let the door hit him in the arsh. All it takes is one insecure person in management to make it rough. After decades in the same company, I can tell you they eventually get their due.
