Career growth. Works keeps telling me for years about how they want to promote me into a new role, but I keep turning them down. Like bruh yeah it's more pay but it's more hours ya know.
I'd rather finish work 5pm everyday then stay back till 8pm for a few grand more which is even worse after tax.
Nothing wrong with that
I see people I've known that are in higher roles and they're overworked and put in like 50% more hours than I do. They probably make 20% more but I make enough to be very happy. So what's the point?
Maybe find a way to define “career growth” for you, instead of the company’s version? I’ve been pretty happy with increased freedom, increased decision-making, without the extra hours and without having to deal with people.
You can negotiate your hours, just like you can negotiate the pay.
Lots of people do that.
