Have you ever gotten a promotion at work?
As kids, people used to tell us we were doing a good job all the time. When you did well at school, you got a gold star or an “A+.” And when you behaved well at home, your parents would compliment you and maybe even give you a special reward. But there are no gold stars in the adult world. Instead, if you work hard at your job and do well, you might get a promotion.

When your boss gives you a promotion, you get a new position that typically comes with more responsibilities, a higher salary and a better title. Some companies offer regular promotions, but at other jobs, you have to do something really special to prove that you deserve one.

Have you ever gotten a promotion at work? Do you hope to climb the ladder at the company you work for?

Answer

Oh yes!

Answer

Does quitting from your job and opening your own business office count?

Answer

Yes I have received a promotion at work on a few occasions in my teaching career.

Answer

Yes, I have received promotions at work, but usually it was a move to a different office, with a different boss.  My husband received many promotions at his government job, but again, you can't just wait for your supervisor to die so you can take his place.  Therefore, the promotions meant applying for higher jobs in other cities.  If you are able to move away from your town, and take a job far away, you have a quicker chance to climb the ladder of success in a large company or for the government.
