Books Mentoring Promotion Salary 
Allwork
MAY 19, 2024
29% of employees quit their jobs within a month after their first promotion. In the time after giving an employee a promotion, many managers probably feel really great. In a surprising 29% of these stories, though, that same promoted employee quits — quickly. That’s a high point as a supervisor.

This calls for two steps—inflation to decline, which could happen, or for salaries to increase, match or exceed it. Since that factor is out of our hands, we should focus on something within our control, like our personal career trajectories and the best timing and method to seek a raise or a promotion.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant
SEPTEMBER 11, 2012

I do worry if you will get constant raises, bonuses, or title changes to show you’ve progressed if your boss is so terrible he will badmouth your performance or not approve salary increases.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant
JUNE 11, 2014
I make an incredible salary so when I tell my husband and friends I want to explore other avenues, they think I'm crazy. I also thought about money, salary negotiation, and how I was spending my time. I would rather buy used books on half.com vs driving in Los Angeles traffic to go the library for free books.
Practically Perfect PA
SEPTEMBER 19, 2014
If you can get a mentor n(within or outside of your company), that might help also. Must suck for those PA’s that have been in a company for years, only for me to come along and be younger, and earn more and get promoted ahead of them. No, but know of a friend who had no degree and got offered a lower salary.
