Well with that kind of attitude I wouldn't give you a promo either.

For state jobs, they would rather hire someone older and more stable. You're only 22, you probably won't be there for another 2 years (especially since you didn't get the job). My view on state jobs is that those people tend to stay there for years and years. (worked for a state agency for 2 years)

Just wait, never settle for a job or a place, keep looking around, you'll find something.

My advice is, start looking for another job. If you really want to hang around, you can use it for leverage. Most employers would rather give you the promotion than loose you to the competition if they value your' work.

I'm currently dissatisfied with my employment as well.

when they hired me, I was hired as help desk/technical support....told it would be a 40/wk job, no responsibilities outside that 40 hours....well since then I have taken on the role of systems administrator (both network and telecom) with a very meager raise in pay and no change in standing with the company (meaning I'm still treated like a bitch).

I've decided to ask for a pretty substantial raise in Sept, unfortunately I think it'll prolly get turned down...and since I don't deal well with professional rejection I'm going to have another job on stand by (basically I'm sending out resumes left and right, as soon as I get another company to offer me at least what I'm making now I'm going to go to my boss about a raise, if he says no I'm going to give my 2 weeks notice then)

That sucks. I know you said you have commented on wanting the higher up postions, but maybe you have to remind them more often. I've lots of people do this and get where they need to go. Its that squeaky wheel getting the grease sort of thing.

please dont take this the wrong way... but be thankfull you have a job...

you've got a serious problem, whenever someone posts something you don't agree with you flip out with something like

"fuck you bitch you don't know anything!!" or "I'd kick your ass if you said that to my face" blah blah

if you're anything like that in real life, that could be what's effecting your employment.

calm down a little.

Act like a child and get treated like a child.

I take things seriously on GBN because I act like I really am. I'm not fake, I'm not more of an asshole or less of an asshole....I'm the real me on here.

and thats the real him in his sig.

"fuck you bitch you don't know anything!!" or "I'd kick your ass if you said that to my face" blah blah

FOOD FIGHT!
