  • I just got promoted...

    I haven't even started working yet but just got a call saying that my promotion to Assistant Manager was approved.



    How's that for a promotion? I haven't even worked a day!


    I'm actually a little concerned because I did not disclose I was planning on leaving in October. They may have long-term plans for me and I'll be screwing them by only working 5 months. Am I being unethical?

            It's hard work skating around in a skirt on rollerblades, but somebody's gotta do it.

              Now kill the manager and take his spot. That's how climbing the corporate ladder works.

                  BTW, did you get a job because we hounded you?

                    No. My checking account dipped below the threshold I consider safe.

                      Did your projections not predict this?

                        It was a foregone conclusion I would need to work eventually. That eventuality arrived so I called up the guy on Thursday, had interview Monday, promoted on Tuesday, and will start on Wednesday.

                              Yes. That's why I asked about is it unethical for me to not disclose that I will be leaving in 5 months.
