What the fuck. Thats ridiculous. Why would a person be like that?!

I think he was jealous or insecure. His predecessor and I got on brilliantly, and our work was recognised and rewardrd at a very high level. I'm not sure what his issue is but he's proved to be dishonest, manipulative, petty and malicious. I need to investigate and find out exactly what he's done so I make sure I approach it correctly. I had suspicions he was bad mouthing me behind my back in order to mask his own failings, so I need to know if he's turned anyone against me that might make any complaint proceeding more difficult.

I feel so lucky with where I work. We have uncontested promotions upto a really high level. There is literally no need for anyone to be a dickhead to another person because you go up when you are good.

Thats what they want you to think.

Dk you want to take the red or the blue pill crayon? Red pill you live in your promotion delusion. Blue pill, you'll see what the world of promotion at your company is really like.

BOOM

At first contact I asked them their range they said between x and y. I pointed out that I didn't want my previous wage (that they'd asked for in the initial contact form, and 115% of y) to price me out if the role. I recognised that it was a different role with lower responsibilities, and it wasn't in London

I expected that when they made an offer I'd negotiate, even if for no other reason than to know that my voice was heard and I was valued by the company. They came in with an offer above their initial "y", I just said yes I'd love to join them. The fact they're gone to their board to offer greater than range before even talking to me, I feel like a pretty girl just smiled at me

Start date in April, feel bad about leaving the warehouse, but it's my trade, I can't wait to be there. New challenge, back in the game

Sorry hugelt self indulgent, but am super excited

The fact they've rewarded me for humility, when I clearly said I expect significantly less, makes me already feel like I'm going to enjoy working with these folk. So many firms would try to low ball you

Cheers g, I might put an advent calendar up

Happy days, Cocko.

Very pleased for you mr cocks. Imagine: from reach around to bonus package in just a few days! Congratulations

That is really cool cocko!

Is the first one breaking into shit and then saying "your shit is broken"?

I reckon a good BA. What does Security Operations Analyst entail?

As of yesterday, I can see role levels for all my colleagues.  Which is exciting.

Except I'm obviously now grumpy about folk who do less, and have less experience, but are higher levels than me (and hence paid more etc.).  

Grumble grumble grumble.  There's obviously subjectivity in this (and a risk of ego bias yaddah yaddah), but even comparing colleagues in my bit of the org with some others further afield, it doesn't look totally level playing field in terms of assessment.  Hmm hmm hmm.  Though maybe I just need more sleep and it makes perfect sense.

Anyone else had "fun" with salary / role transparency etc.?  It's all been pretty hush hush for me previously...

It's fairly straight forward in my job. I can pretty much work out what anyone is on. I'm going to struggle to negotiate a salary when I have to fend for myself.

The place I used to work for were fucking nuts about pay secrecy. One girl was threatened with summary dismissal for discussing salaries with her colleagues. Barking mad. Can only imagine the sketchiness they must have been up to with pay discrepancies.

Security Operations Analyst is responsible for the operation and configuration of security tools that identify and detect potentially malicious activity. This is a technical position that requires experience in operation of various security tools. The position will act as a security incident analyst or manager as part of the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). The position will work with MDR as well as co-managed SIEM solution providers to continually enhance our detection and response capabilities.

As a Business Analyst you will work with the Product Owner to maintain the roadmap and sprint backlogs, facilitate workshops to gather and analyse requirements and create user stories with appropriate technical detail and acceptance criteria. You will act as the bridge between business and technology teams on highly complex projects. You will analyse and document processes from both a business and technical standpoint.


Those are a little snippet straight from the job description.  If anyone is interested, hit me up for more details.

Yeah I'm not against transparency, but it's interesting seeing departmental variance for the first time within an organisation I've worked in for the last 15 years.  

I'm also feeling grumpy today, which likely isn't helping my objectivity.  But it very much feels like I've been told "to get to this level, you need to be doing all this stuff, on top of this other stuff you can't stop doing [to an extent which doesn't fit]", while there are folks in the next unit along who have been "promoted" already and are doing rather less than what's being asked of me.  Which makes me kinda sad.  As you say though, probably better I have that visibility and can question it, than everything hidden away - and after all, I might have the wrong end of the stick, yaddah yaddah.

Muzz - you can justifiably ask for more money now right? If you want to half cup full it you can use it to get more money.

It could also be the other people do secret off the books gangster shit.
