[quote=Anonymous]As with most things, context matters. Do you have any leverage to pushback? If so, do that. If not, then deal with it and look for a new job.

I was also in this situation (promotion responsibilities but no sf 50) and it was awful. And like a PP, they ended up moving a crony into the position after I had done a great job for a year. I left soon after, with a promotion. So the experience did help me long term, but it was done poorly and left a very bad taste.

Do what works for you. What I also learned is that the more you jump to meet expectations for people, the more some people expect. Like, you could do the work of 10 people with 7 by working nonstop and maybe make a minor error. Or you could push back and say, we won’t meet X deadline because we are short 3 people. The responses to both were more similar than I expected and it actually felt like I got more respect for saying I could not make the deadline for xyz reason. Of course, that was all pre-2024 so I don’t know if that would work now. [/quote]
