Job titles are the nice invention for making people crave for more while getting less.
Stop focusing on a title that is entirely meaningless and bogus. -
@electrineer Damn! That sucks even more (especially if you get more responsibilities).

@jestdotty Exactly. Especially when several other people had theirs updated after some promotions and either started at the same level I did or were at the same level I was when they joined the team.
It's weird how some higher-ups refer to me with the title I should have (Senior SWE) but on the system, the title is still the same as Grads SWEs. -
@jestdotty Yeah, plus the company has that weird promotion cycle that follows quarters so I may need to wait until January to see if I get another salary increase and a more appropriate title 🙃.

Promotions that take ages and end up with no title changes when successful.
Why is it this hard to update a title especially for someone who's been here for 3 years and still has the same title as day 1? And it doesn't seem like Workday is the culprit here.
