I think I might actually have some imposter syndrome which I’m very much not used to! You'd have to wonder why they'd promote you then. It's always about money - they're probably just giving you the full self-esteem-ectomy so that you don't try to advocate for a larger pay bump than they're offering. Pretty sure I got an extra 5-10k with my recent promotion salary bump simply because I didn't notice my manager's message with a salary offer for like a day so it looked like I was playing hardball with the silent treatment...

You should always go around absolutely certain in your decision making and general competence, only physical reality should impede you in your inexorable quest to have every take imaginable with complete confidence that you are correct.

Every time I go up a rung I'm in panic mode that this will be the move where its discovered that I don't actually do anything. Now I have direct reports so will probably just offload everything onto them.

It definitely sounds like your manager is playing games with your self esteem for either budgetary or control freak reasons which is not a great sign to get from your (new?) boss

OwlFancier posted:I feel like we had two years or so when the UK government was in intense talks with the EU where they tried to get a better deal without having freedom of movement, single market, or customs union. But I'm sure that keir starmer will show up to brussels and just tell them to sort it out and it will magically get better. During that time we had two years of politicians saying "this current deal that the Government has negotiated is awful. Now, if I were in charge it would be better!" Like that's how Boris got the PM job. Stammer is just doing a poor copy of this.

You should have spent the last few years taking a duck to work, that way your manager would just say leave the duck at home and no further feedback

So far, the offloading work has been only intermittently successful for me, and I ended up having to bring my laptop with me on my holidays in Barcelona a couple of weeks ago  I'm giving myself about 6 months to reestablish the work-life balance where I can spend most of my time just chilling and listening to podcasts, otherwise it's time to hit da bricks

I've spent 75% of working hours during lock down playing video games and blagging it, but have somehow managed to move jobs twice and double my salary in that time. Just be likable and amenable to people around you, make sure you look good in front of the big cheeses, and you'll be fine. Shame your boss sounds like a dick, though. He's either trying to motivate you or underpay you (probably both). There's not much you can do about that, other than ignore it and have confidence in your worth.

Thanks everyone, very nice to come back to some words of encouragement! I actually quite like who I work for and have got on really well with my boss so far so it was a bit of a kick in the teeth, and did strike me as an odd way to announce a promotion. I’d have saved any interview feedback til we were actually feeding back, personally, rather than stick a really negative note on the announcement. Anyway it’s acted as the kick I need to get back to looking for video editing work and properly start on my next documentary so that’s good I suppose.

Honestly the main thing I've learned from my time in the cold during covid was that employers expect most people claiming to be competent at something have never touched it in their life. So if you have actually done the things you've said you've done you are part of the elite skillz crowd.

Tesseraction posted:lol Oh my look at all those Tory enablers lol A long toime ago I got a 3 player chess set off ebay. It had a neat board design, very cleverly designed to allow three sets of pieces converging in the center. It was the single most argument causing game I've ever played. The ancient game of chess it turns out is precisely ballanced for 2 players. Being put in check by one player while the other takes your queen is extraordinarily infuriating. Games would start with 2 of the players ganging up on the other, taking them out and then just playing regular 2 player chess on a weird game board. I bring this up because one time i tried to play fair and equally target both other players. This naturally led to me being the one who got taken out first lol. It was an impossible game to play fairly, and it really comes to mind whenever i see Starmer trying to triangulate like he does.

Obviously the game should be improved by giving all participants nuclear weapons and then the entire game can be played out as a big argument.

They couldn't even think of four things before they had to get to "cut small business rates" and "build British!!!" I shouldn't expect anything better but I'm inordinately depressed by that. They are worthless.

Which I doubt it will be but eh. I mean, that’s exactly what Insulate Britain were causing disruption for, a straightforward and eminently affordable (for government) solution to reduce energy usage.
