Congrats. I'm bitter from my own experience but I found these surprise internal promotions were a method to preempt a true promotion and wage increase. I got a token £2,000 with senior, which in looking back I now know was about £4,000 less than what I should have been on. But, I felt grateful at the time as it was a surprise letter in the post
Except that the promotion doesn’t come with more pay, a better title, or benefits, just more work…
... hope you got a salary increase as well... But congratulations.
Congrats OP!
Happened 3 times for me in the same company, was just minding my own business and got 3 promotions.
When you apply for promotion due to your experience but don’t get the job because they chose a less experienced worker to fit a certain narrative.
I got fired this way …
If the money remained the same, you weren't promoted - you were screwed
Not safe for work

My work had me do a solicitation for a promotion while I was the only candidate.. Guess what I got it..
