Did the promotion also include more money? The answer could be an excuse for lack of funds.
However...."see more broad scoped project proposals"...sounds like she is looking for things that, in her mind, have a more direct impact on the business model. All the things you did make it easier for them to do their job, or makes the data assets far more safe. But look for something that really impacts the way they work.....an new Sharepoint Site for collaboration...a new accounting package for finance. Something that changes the way they work and the way the work flows. Not saying she is right, just tossing out some thoughts. From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 04, 2011 1:51 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Morale killer... vent mode:on I asked for a promotion to Sr. Systems Engineer but I have been denied. Talking to my boss she feels I am qualified but her boss disagrees - not because I don't fit the roles and skill set of a Sr. SE as listed in our job description, but because she wants to "see more broad scoped project proposals". Yeah sorry that my evaluation of products used across the enterprise for encrypting our laptops (chose PGP), remote access (went with RDS), 3rd party patching (Shavlik), and then doing the work of standing up the servers and installing configuring, deploying and then handing off of said items all in the last 12 months isn't broad enough... "You're really great at what you do and you meet the job description but it's not enough, sorry". Some of you guys can relate, right? I've only been doing IT professionally for 16 years...and admin-y stuff for 12 of that.
