Promotion Blues

A new title, more responsibility, better pay and perhaps a little prestige … what could be bad about getting promoted?  This week we help listeners grappling with the complexities and consequences of “moving on up” the corporate ladder.  Chris probes Tim about his quasi-agrarian roots.

Segments in this episode:

• Down About Moving Up In Bloomfield - “I got promoted and now my work friends are giving me a hard time”
• Up For Grabs In Chattanooga – “I’m one of four vying for two promotions, how should I rate my competition during our 360 review process?”
• The Gist: “Explaining Game Theory” – the Cubicle Crew introduces this branch of behavioral economics. Is it possible to predict the way two or more seemingly-competing parties will act in a given situation?  Would you make the choice that most benefits you, or cooperate to maximize outcomes for all?

We want to hear about the drama, the dilemmas, and the conundrums that you face at work! All names will be changed to protect the guilty and innocent.
