Natural internal progression is far too slow for me... if I don't get promoted within a year, I'm off.

In the last 3 years and 7 months, I've got from £16k to £32k in Marketing. It can be done - you just have to talk the right language.

That's great :beer:

Did you achieve that by working part time and spending all your spare time on the internet moaning and whining at strangers?

Say if you are a cleaner, what career progression can you have? very very very little if any.

I had a cleaner at one of my offices, and one evening [yes Phil, some of us work evenings to get work done when it is quiet], she came in and told me she was leaving; going to college to do nursing. Apparently it was because I kept saying that she shouldn't call herself 'just' a cleaner and had inspired her to move on and up.

The next cleaner's son, who used to come into the offices to clean with his mum, got an apprenticeship - arranged by us and we placed him into another employer so that he could work and learn.

Sadly they say it to everyone my grade not just me. You don't have the right customer experience or cash skills to promoted. What sort of job is there where it is completely closed to moved forward?

YOU COULD GET CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE AND CASH SKILLS BY WORKING IN A BOOKSHOP

What are you going to do with your life SP? Champion whingers don't get much.

I know I could get that experience else where. But it is a weird situation where you have to leave your job to come back at a higher level surely.

SO WHY AREN'T YOU?

You don't have any initiative, do you?

You could work part time at a bookshop while you do this job. best of both worlds.

But no, you wasted your time sat on your @rse moaning.

Congratulations.

Yes, but I would never get secondment, so I would have to leave to come then try and come back.
