I know this guy that in order to gain a promotion in his company had to:
Take part in a workplace examination,
then travel into the city for another all-day examination,
then travel intrastate to a ‘function centre’ to take part in a week long assessment process involving interviews, role plays, presentations and paperwork exercises.
All this for a sub 80k p.a. position that’s not even middle management and for a chance to be promoted in July next year!!!
My question is, is it normal for people to be jumping through so many hoops for promotion?
