I was always told how great of an employee I was, but then we opened a position for someone a level higher than me meaning Id have to train them. Told my boss she should just promote me and then open an entry level position instead in a professional way of course. She agreedA coworker who trained me complained and complained about how the company took 2 years to promote him, so I knew I had to do the convincing! It was definitely nerve wracking but dont be scared... it pays off! Literally! Im new to the job world, and Ive learned from this that you need to know your worth otherwise you will be taken advantage of!
