    2: Quiet Promotions: The Inevitable Aftermath of Mass Layoffs

    In this episode, we unravel the concept of "Quiet Promotions: The Inevitable Aftermath of Mass Layoffs." Ever found yourself taking on more tasks without the paycheck boost? That's a quiet promotion. We break down the difference between this and a temporary stretch assignment, helping you identify when you're quietly promoted, doing the job of two for the price of one. Learn the three crucial steps to navigate this situation. First, document your workload – jot down tasks, time spent, and assess if they align with your role. Then, discuss your workload with your manager, showcasing how you're exceeding your job description without the pay. Don't wait for your performance review; start the conversation early. Lastly, explore other solutions if an immediate raise or promotion isn't possible. Set boundaries, discuss burnout, take strategic time off, and prioritize self-care.
