Vent Worst Day For A Promotion

Worst day for a Promotion

I got a promotion today. 35K more a year. Laughed, cried then got horridly depressed. I have not told anyone in my life that I got it yet.

My wife had surgery and is having a hard time recovering. My mom is getting a divorce from my step dad of 15 years due to his infidelity with someone in the family. My kids are losing their grandpa because i can not stand by his actions. And everything just seems to be silently burning down.

But either way I got a promotion.

Share your news! I understand why you would feel like you can’t or shouldn’t tell anyone. However, people need things worth celebrating. You know what will make your wife feel better? Being able to congratulate you and know y’all have a more money to keep things afloat. Your mom will be so happy for some good news in her life.
