The Promotion Problem: Should You Say Yes… or Run? | Don't Jump Podcast: Reddit Workplace Stories

Are promotions actually a good thing — or just a shiny title with extra stress attached?

In this episode of Don’t Jump, Simone and Sam break down real Reddit workplace stories about promotions, career confusion, imposter syndrome, and all the “wait… is this normal?” moments we face at work.

We cover:
• Promotions that come with $4K more but double the responsibility
• Getting promoted in a career you’re not even sure you want
• Feeling like you didn’t “earn” your promotion (hello, imposter syndrome)
• Corporate theater, office politics, and meetings about… meetings
• How to tell when to take the title, negotiate, or walk away entirely

If you're navigating workplace chaos or figuring out your next career move, this one's for you.

Welcome to Don’t Jump — the Reddit recap podcast about workplace navigation, optics, and all the relatable stories that come with trying to survive at work.
