I’d only accept a “dry promotion” to improve my resume. Then I’d quit.

Here's a secret: your resume is whatever you write on a piece of paper. You can just get a volunteer role if you want to be a director or lead something.

Don't ever work for free unless you care about the end result. And definitely don't ever work for free for your own company. You can't be paid what you don't ask for.

Maybe you get paid the same but work half the time? (won't happen, but would be a 'dry' promotion I would take)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Nope. I want the promotion, the increase in salary and the halfed working hours.

That’s probably not how it would work, but it’s worth clarifying.
