      @JoshuaFluke1 Aura is a scam. The data broker making tons of money selling data with servers in Vietnam or some other foreign country is just going to ignore the request.
      Sending opt-out requests with no actual ability to enforce them, to people who have no reason to care about the requests, isn't going to achieve anything.

      Years ago I was a plant manager of one shift, my Manager walks the production floor and tell me "Oh by the way congratulations, upper level announced you got promoted, You are know in charge of two shift!" When I said this is the first I'm hearing this and how much more am I getting? Manager just walked away from me. Needless to say, I was gone not too long after that.

      You are looking at it incorrectly. You are under the false belief that HR is designed to help the employees. It can be, but that is not the primary function of HR. To understand its purpose, look no further than the title. Human Resources - The Humans are a resource that the company is try to optimize to be productive to increase wealth. HR is also called Human Capital. Human capital is the, training, knowledge, skills, and health that a company invests in to yield more profit from the asset which is the human/employee. HR and the legal department also serve to avoid litigation. HR is an arm of a corporation that is designed to protect the company and maximize profit.

    This is corporate Doublespeak. The accurate term for this arrangement would be 'Wage robbery', because the employee is expected to put more effort for the same amount of pay, effectively robbing them of the extra pay that they are entitled to with the extra effort and responsibility. But they put a positive spin on it by using the term Dry 'PROMOTION'. Basically, using a positive term for something that negatively impacts the employee.

    This is a page book from any military organization: They'll give you extra-responsibilities to be added to your workload (often referred as "secondary tasks") with the lie that it will count toward your next promotion (which can be months or years away). The trap being that those secondary tasks often become more engaging than your primary which will lead you to overwork and burn out.... all of which will work AGAINST your next promotion.

      It's all relative when you talk how much money for a promotion. Are you moving one level up the career ladder, or did you jump over a step or two? Are you moving from individual contributor to management? If so, then you're going to want a huge increase because it's more hours and a lot more responsibility, and if you're a manager you also have more liabilities than you do of the individual contributor. For instance, you can be sued as an individual outside of the company if someone feels you've discriminated against them or claims some type of harassment or unfair treatment. That's worth a lot of money in my opinion and one of the promotions I've turned down over the years.

      In my career I wasn't a job hopper but I did have one job change that turned into hopping. This was about 25 years ago. Went from a job I didn't really like making $35K to a startup doing quite interesting work and got a bump to $55K. Place fell apart about 6 months later and I went to another startup and another $20K pay bump to $75K. That place was on shaky financial ground (I knew that going into the deal) and our full wage amount was contingent upon the company securing the next round of financing, which never really happened. Long story short that place fell apart about a year later and I went back to the original company, which had been bought in the mean time, for yet another $20K bump to $95K. No way in the world would I have gone from $35K to anywhere near $95K if I'd stayed put - I doubt I'd have made it even to $50K counting the bump people got when the company was bought. So job hopping can work wonders. But I've also known people that have hopped around and wound up unemployed. So it's far from risk free.

Wait, this used to be a separate job. Not busy enough I guess, being a DBA was added as requirement of working in this field- a complete career option in the past. Then being a "Dev Ops" guy became a thing, but why not just add that to the list of things you have to know as a programmer? Naturally, you also must do BA and QA work too (dressed up as "Test Driven Development") because why not? A job listing can have 20+ requirements now...its insanity and the young guys are brainwashed into thinking being a techno-swiss army knife is "normal".

      This is actually true though for most companies. For whatever reason, your previous salary just gets "forgotten" when you leave and come back. But this is assuming you spent at least 1-2y away. When you get to that point they have "no idea" if your previous salaray or the projections if you stayed, are accurate. If you were projected to only grow your salary by 5k over the next 2y, but you leave for 2y; they presume you "upskilled" to the point that it makes their previous projections off-base. Also, as a now-external hire, they can justify the bump as a "poaching key talent from competitors" thing, instead of "wasting raises on people who are too self-loathing to leave." They will also see you as someone who needs to be "incentivised" to 1) accept the offer, and 2) not leave again. So if you leave and come back, you are not only more likely to get a higher pay, but also more likely to be promoted (on average)... since most of them don't like messing with salary bands by having people be "overpaid" for their level of responsibility (can't have a non-supervisor [non STEM/Lawyer/Doctoral employee] at 6 figures now, can we?)

      But sadly, most people won't.
      And most people won't take it because they'll fear the consequences of not doing so.
      And so, it'll grow in popularity in corporate America until finally, it becomes a staple in the workforce and future generations will grow up and enter the workforce seeing this as a normal part of the process.

In Germany, if you try to pull one like that, that worker will go and tell the rest of the workers, and they'll all start doing only half the work they used to do and the boss can't fire you for being slow. At least not here. Basically exactly what happened at my company. They screwed over a couple of workers, and cheated others of hard earned promised promotions. Years later, the time comes, and the company shrugs "Ufff, sorry there little buddy. This just isn't the right time for our company. Difficult economic situations you see."

    It all depends on how long you plan to stay at a job. I got my first promotion to a lead at a job, and I initially didn't get a bump in pay. I left just before I was supposed to get the pay to match my job title because I never really planned to be there too long. The job was somewhat in my field but not the exact thing I wanted to do. The original position gave me a chance to have experience I only had a limited amount of before, and the promotion gave me something to put on my resume. Other than the job I left for, it really benefited me on applications and interviews I had on a few of the jobs I had after that.

  • @bulls-nation5783

    I think it depends on what the “fake promotion” is.
    I went into a more complex role (meaning thinking/problem solving) with less volume overall. Its considered a promotion, but a flat line with the other.
    However, without this, there is no room for growth. This route allowed me to get a massive increase in pay within a year of being in that role that wouldn’t have been available.
    I think its important to understand the company and the route to move up within a specific time frame. I would do it again if I needed to.

    First of all this isn't a new phenomenon like they are trying to suggest. I remember commuting to work around 2010, 2012 and people telling me about how overworked they were after someone left the job or got fired. I even recall a colleague telling me about their friend's wife getting thrown into her boss's role without the formal promotion or pay increase. She was being made to do both jobs. She originally thought she could make herself eligible by proving she could do it but later found out they were seeking applicants. At the time, the husband was experiencing his own work turmoil so she couldn't just leave and was afraid to push back too hard.
    That was years ago. I've since seen more signs of the crap. Anytime someone has tried to cajole me to do more for less, I'm frank before we even get to the end of the conversation. I push back and ask the tough questions so it's clear where my motivation lies. I always believe that you have to begin as you mean to go on. If you go along for a while, it's much harder to take a stance later without repercussions.

So my dad actually quit the job and took a job at the golf course working 24 hours a week for $5 an hour. The upside being he also made about $50 a day in tips and he got to play golf for free whenever he wanted.
