Promotions

The thing that moves people along best in companies and their careers is that they promoted once in a while into more responsible jobs. Unfortunately, as companies’ progress, many promotions are made on the basis of moving people out of jobs they are not doing very well into jobs popularity. We all know the case where the best technician is moved up to supervisor and is a terrible supervisor, and we’ve a good technician in the process. A promotion should mot be a reward for tenure. It should be a reward for potential success in a new job. This ties into the personnel evaluation system. When a promotion should know about immediately. Someone important should tell the individual personally to her or him. The different aspects of the new position should be taken care of as quickly as possible, such as business cards, physical office location, perks that go along with the job. These all help the individual become adjusted. Also, since some people have problems adjusting, this is the time to consider counseling in the guise of development and education.

When I was moved into my first supervisor job, I received absolutely no training, and I showed it. I survived only because another assistant supervisor patiently taught me the ropes. I do not remember ever receiving any specific training for any job up the ladder during all those years. I do remember being told at least three times, “We are not really sure you are qualified for the job, but we do not have anybody else”. I do not recommend that as the way to motivate a new supervisor.
