Is a promotion always good for your career? In today’s volatile job market, the answer may surprise you! In this video, I break down why getting promoted at work can sometimes be riskier than staying where you are.

1️⃣ Reduced take-home pay – when your raise comes as a variable pay that may never get paid.
2️⃣ Higher layoff risk – why middle managers are often the first to be cut during layoffs.
3️⃣ Increased stress & accountability – the mental and emotional toll of being responsible for your team’s productivity, not just your own.

Promotions used to mean more money and job security. But in 2025, they can come with financial traps, career instability, and burnout. Before you celebrate your next step up, watch this video to understand what you’re really signing up for—and how to protect yourself.
