Are Promotions Really Worth It? The Surprising Truth No One Talks About

Are you sure you want that promotion? 🎯 In this episode of She Makes it Work, we dive deep into the reality behind the promotion hype. While everyone seems to think a promotion will solve all their problems—more money, more authority, more respect—the truth isn’t always so simple.

Gabrielle Awe shares personal insights and examples, including recent events like Dell’s controversial return-to-office policy, where employees were told their chances of promotion would suffer if they didn't come back to the office. But here's the twist—many people chose not to return. Why? Because sometimes the promotion just isn't worth it.

From the challenges of increased responsibility to the true cost of climbing the corporate ladder, Gabby breaks down when you should think twice about chasing that next big title. Are you ready for the trade-offs that come with more money and authority? Or are there hidden downsides that could change your mind?

Join us as we explore whether promotions are the ultimate career goal or a trap in disguise. Don’t miss this important conversation that could shift how you think about your career path!
