Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Exactly how he wanted it. A worker uncertain of their skill or value is much more likely to do whatever they want, and at a lower salary.
Or maybe that is how he actually felt for some reason.
Either they disapproved their role change. F.e they thought OP was an ace welder, but now they got a role, where they mostly fill out paperwork. "I guess this IS a promotion" - see? Or they thought OP was ace at their job, and now they got sidemoted to an unimportant role, which the manager felt was dead end. "Now you are president of the "unimportant matters with no chance of self improvement department". Or maybe the manager expected, a way bigger promotion, because they felt OP was really fit for the role.
If he is minimally competent as a manager, he phrased it, to warn OP that THIS is the time to jump ship.
It wasn't a role change, just a salary rung. I went from information-worker 2 to information-worker II. My day to day responsibilities didn't change.
It's almost like he begrudgingly admitted my skills advanced to the point where the company had to give me the promotion.
Or he felt, you deserved an ACTUAL promotion, rather than a small salary bump. If you feel you are doing good work it is hard to imagine all the other people wouldn't feel it.
Or OP will just do the same job with a slightly higher salary and a fancier name to keep him on board.
Oh yeah the promotion that isn't a promotion. That is also a classic one.
