Should moving into a Supervisor position a promotion?

Unfortunately this is common.  You should not be getting less pay, but it is pretty likely that you will have to work harder.  Try to stick it out for a while, and if you do not get a raise, start looking for somewhere else where you can put your experience to use and get a raise.

A lot of us are often told that to get a promotion, we have to change employers. But that may be stale advice. The opportunity to advance in your company may be closer than you think.\n\nAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the percentage of all workers with full-time jobs who are age 55 and older will grow to more than 20 percent in 14 years. Due to the sheer magnitude of this change, increasing numbers of workers will be leaving their current jobs to retire or accommodate a planned change in lifestyle.\n\nThat trend, combined with the potential for increased hiring as the economy improves, bodes well for younger, advancement-minded workers.\n\nClearly this will not happen overnight. Aging baby boomers may retire later. According to AARP, 69 percent of employees older than 45 plan to continue working past 65.\n\nBut rather than hanging on to their current jobs until they drop, real-life trends indicate that late-stage workers either are staying in their jobs longer or seeking "bridge jobs" — part-time, short-term or self-employed jobs — before they finally exit the workforce. One of the explanations for this is that older workers will seek jobs in locations and on terms that are more in line with the lifestyle they will want as they plan on how they want to life the later years of their lives.\n\nYounger workers with talent and ambition will want to keep these trends in mind and think about how to improve their promotion probability.\n\nIf you like the company you work for and the people you work with — and you’d like to move up, not out — there are some things you can do to increase your possibility for promotion while you stay put.\n\nThis advice is particularly important at this time of year because your accomplishments during the whole year are considered when you are up for an end-of-year evaluation, consideration for a bonus or a promotion.\n\nCareer advice-givers commonly preach that to get promoted, you’ll either have to leave the company for a better job; your current company must create a new position for you; or your boss must get promoted, retire or leave. They all give the same fundamental advice: To increase your promotion probability, you must learn your boss’ job and train your replacement.\n\nI’ll add my two cents: Grow your boss' business by coming up with new ways to grow revenue. A growing business can pay for expansion — and your promotion. Nothing gets more positive recognition than adding to the bottom line.

I find it best to be very positive every minute of the day.  Sucking-up to the person who does the promoting also , sadly helps.  Don't gossip or listen to gossip.  Talk about events, places, things, but NEVER people. If you deal w/customers or clients, constantly go over & beyond the call of duty... it will get back to your supervisor.  Good Luck

At my annual review and raise?\n\nI suppose that would help, if he might threaten to smite my supervisor if they don't give me the 20% I'm gunning for!

First of all any experience you have in this area needs to be emphasized. List all of experiences you have no matter how small, showing them that you have an attention to detail, which is a great supervisor trait. List any skill you have as a people person as well as leader for they will be looking for someone who can do both. Last use references that not only give you a good endorsement but will ensure to them that you have unlimited potential and would be a tremendous asset to their staff and company. I hope this will be of some help to you and good luck on your new job.

Hello....I would meet with the supervisor or boss and talk about it.  Don't leave without being told what approach will be taken so you know where you stand.  On the other hand, have you ever considered working for yourself?  I am going to email you.  Good luck.

As an Assistant Director of a childcare center, I have had some previous experience conducting interviews and reviews.  If you feel you honestly deserve a promotion, your best attributes will come through.  Approach the situation with confidence (but not cockiness or too much of a big head ~ remember...everyone can always improve)  Be aware of the job description and responsibilites of the position you are hoping to be promoted to, and ask yourself if you really have what it takes.  Be prepared to give examples of how you are the best person to fill the position.  Good luck.

Do what you feel is right. Aside for the salary increase, I believe you'd need a new work environment as you already mentioned your dissatisfaction with your present work. Go for it and just be glad you have such choice. :)

CONGRATULATIONS LOU!!\n\nAfter 2 years of working with the company: if your employer did not think you were worthy and 'Deserving' of the promotion, then you would not have been given it: especially without asking for it!!  \n\nTherefore, rejoice in the fact your boss/boss's think so highly of you they wished to promote you, and no doubt give you extra responsibility, & a Higher Salary!!  \n\nNow you have to show your employer & your colleagues, that you are deserving of the position you have been given: & ESPECIALLY if in a position of authority or responsibility!!\n\nAre the people talking behind your back: or is this just a paranoid feeling you have?  You must have ‘Friends’ amongst your colleagues: try talking to them, and see what’s being said!!  If necessary, pull the ‘catty’ colleagues to one side and point out to them that you did not ask for the promotion, and that if they have a problem with it, to take it up with the boss: as you are sure he will be interested in what they have to say!!\n\nJealousy amongst colleagues in the workplace is rife in any company, for a multitude of reasons: Promotions: office politics: who Fancy's who, etc... \n\nYou must rise above it, and ignore their catty comments and childish actions!!  In NO WAY: must you give in to them, and return to your lower post: not unless the job is too much for you!!  You have worked hard no doubt to get where you are today:  you have worked for it: you have earned it: you deserve it: let no bugger deprive you of it!!\n\nStand tall & be Proud!!\n\nGood luck & God Bless!!

Dont jump to quickly to say yes. Find out exactly what your new responsibilities are. Are willing to take them on, is the few extra dollars worth the time and stress? If you are truly a good worker there will always be oppourtunities for you. Take the right one for you. Promotions can sometimes be a double edged sword. Is this a company you wanna stay with for a while. The expierence may be very valuable to your resume allowing to get you a better job later down the line, but you wont have the time or energy to persue other endevors you may be interested in. Dont be afraid of sucess, but dont under value yourself and jump to take a pormotion if its not worthed. Weigh your options.\nGood luck

Sounds like you are in the clear. But try to make the move without burning bridges and make sure you express your appreciation to your current employeer.

Do you have a degree? Pretty well any Master's degree from a reputable University. You may also be promoted to lower management if you only have a Bachelor's and a LOT of inherent talent. \n\nBut you need to have people skills also. You need to be able to lead a team successfully in getting their work done (on time and well). You also have to be able to deal well with the different personalities of the people below you. Lower management who use intimidation tactics to keep their people in line don't often make any sort of a climb up the corporate ladder. \n\nAnd at the same time you need to balance your skills at handling your own bosses. Make sure the work you are responsible to them for is done well and on time, and that you know every aspect of it. Your job is to make them look good. If you can do this with competence and without fanfare, then your chances of moving into his position when he moves up the ladder himself would be increased incrementally.

If you are staying the the same field, but changing industries, then that is a good way to deflect it.\n\nAnother way is growth...always point to growth if you are successful...ask if the position is a way to management...even if you have NO desire to be a manager, it is good to show that you plan on doing the work required to be promoted

You are expected to complete the shift...that's not greedy.\n\nIf you feel you are underutilized, let your supervisor/boss know that you are not gainfully employed for that period of time (that lets him/her know that you are efficient).\nIf you take on more responsibility within the organization, you will become more valuable, help the company grow, and have the added benefit of a raise.\n\nGood luck and have fun.

Talk with the owners about this. \n\nSay for instance, I have noticed several of the girls have been given a promotion for Smoothie Supervisor. Is there a reason WHY I haven't? What can I do to get the next Supervisors position? What qualifications do I need in order to get a Supervisors Position?

Hmm. That would be great. I need to work there. Would you be my supervisor?
