Dry promotion offered? Should you take it or not?

man and woman having a discussion at work

Do you know what a dry promotion is?

Simply put, it’s a promotion, minus the salary increase or benefits.

So you now find yourself choosing between two sides of a coin with people telling you:

“At least got promotion, take it!”

“What? Waste time only, better find better opportunity elsewhere.”

So how?

The pros of accepting a dry promotion

First, think about your resume.

If you accept a dry promotion, you can put it on your CV and show future employers that you received more responsibilities due to the skillsets you have.

Secondly, it can show that you have commitment and a sense of work ethic. You are willing to do more work and go beyond what your job scope is (for the time being) without being too money-minded.

This can impress your current boss and maybe in the future, he will give you a “real” promotion with better pay when the company does better financially.

Thirdly, you’re betting on yourself. You believe that the new responsibilities and skills can enhance your future earnings potential. It’s like an investment in your future.

The cons of accepting a dry promotion

We know it can be very disappointing if the offer doesn’t match your career goals, in terms of salary or role expectations.

Like, they give you more power and title, but your pay’s still the same. More responsibilities but no extra money? Hmm.

It can also send a wrong signal to your penny-pinching boss if you only give a quiet nod, which can easily make you a pushover in the office later. This may set the stage for future monetary promotions, and you may be left out of the picture entirely.

Making the decision: Should you take the dry promotion?

If you think you won’t be able to handle the stress that comes with a dry promotion, it’s better to look for other opportunities. Don’t simply accept this dry promotion and then lose sleep over it. 

You worked hard, you deserve better. Find somewhere that appreciates you and gives you the proper recognition and pay.

But if you’re not in a hurry to build wealth and want to gain some new skills, then maybe give it a little thought. But if you think it’s not worth it and you can find better opportunities elsewhere, then don’t hesitate to say “no thanks”.

At the end of the day, only you know what’s best for your career ahead. If you’re a newbie starting out in the industry and don’t have a family to feed, then it’s not too bad to accept a dry promotion. Just don’t forget to ask when a pay raise will follow, so it will give you a rough timeline on when to bring up the promotion conversation again. If you’re on the opposite side of the spectrum, then I guess you don’t need any advice. Don’t settle for less if you think you’re worth more, yeah?

Efficient Strategies for Tackling Workplace Passive-Aggression

Is your workplace riddled with people who enjoy a good dose of sarcasm or teasing, sometimes even at the expense of others? Do they throw in a “just kidding” to lighten the mood after delivering a particularly cutting remark? Well, you might be dealing with passive-aggressive behavior.

In this post, we’ll break down what passive aggression is and share some strategies to handle it more effectively.

Understanding Passive-Aggressive Behavior

Mayo Clinic, a medical practice and research group, defines passive-aggressive behavior as a way for individuals to express their negative feelings harmfully but indirectly. Instead of addressing issues directly, they cloak their hostility and discontent through subtle actions.

Notice the behavior of your behavior and that of your workmates. If you grew up in an environment where expressing feelings openly wasn’t encouraged, you might resort to passive-aggressive behavior as a way to avoid direct confrontation. This can manifest as sulking, emotional withdrawal, or finding indirect ways to communicate feelings.

Life coach Leah Veazey emphasizes that while passive-aggressiveness allows someone to express disagreement without being confrontational, it’s not the most effective communication technique and can be detrimental to relationships.

Strategies to Manage Passive-Aggressive Behavior

ADDRESS THE SITUATION DIRECTLY

If you notice a coworker engaging in passive-aggressive behavior, avoiding them might be your first instinct. However, addressing the issue directly is crucial.

Plan a conversation with your coworker to ensure they don’t feel targeted, and consider involving the HR department for a private, constructive meeting.

IDENTIFY THEIR REASONS

Understand that passive-aggressive behavior can stem from various reasons, including internal emotions or external factors like workplace competition.

Identifying the root cause helps in deciding the best approach. In some cases, addressing team stress openly might be necessary.

ESTABLISH A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

Make it clear that expressing concerns openly is encouraged and safe. Foster an environment where people feel comfortable discussing problems directly rather than resorting to covert methods.

Lead by example, praising and supporting those who bring issues to your attention.

USE LANGUAGE CAREFULLY

Provide accurate feedback using precise language. Instead of making general accusations, point out specific instances and give the person a chance to explain.

Avoid direct “you” statements (e.g., “you are late” or “you are incompetent”) to prevent the other person from feeling attacked and becoming defensive.

PROVIDE RIGHT TRAINING

Consider offering one-on-one coaching to help team members communicate assertively. Role-play scenarios to practice addressing issues confidently without resorting to passive-aggressive behavior. Additional communication skills training may be beneficial.

AVOID RECIPROCATING THEIR BEHAVIOR

Despite the temptation to respond in a similar passive-aggressive manner, focus on maintaining positive habits. Upholding a cooperative and positive atmosphere can influence your team positively. Resist the urge to engage in behaviors that only prolong unpleasant dynamics.

By following these strategies, you can foster a more open and constructive work environment, reducing the impact of passive-aggressive behavior on your team.
