Update to Spouse Not taking promotion

[Melissa W.]

Just wanted to update you guys that thankfully it all worked out and DH is taking the promotion.

Over the weekend, we hashed out why it was such an issue to me. It was a really, really good talk. A lot of what you guys said helped coupled with what I have been learning in therapy.

The company came back with 9% now, reworked OT pay for busy season, and a 3% bump when training is completed. (This promotion requires he goes to company training for a year.) The company essential created a new position for this process.

DH is pretty happy with the outcome. He feels like while the process was painful, it worked out. There are still issues but they are being worked on and this is helping pave the way.

In the end, I am happy because it goes back to what I was told was important to our family. He didn't accept until he talked to me about it.

Hurrah! Glad he realized the need for more communication with you AND that the promotion itself worked out.
