I was just promoted to Manager at work after starting there from the bottom three years ago. Its a consulting firm for different companies like American Express, Verizon, Discover, etc. Basically they hire us to review their data (calls between their customer service agents and customers) and discover trends to help improve sales. Its a really great place and not much competition. We are really good at what we do and always delivering a return on investment to our clients.

Well anyways I was promoted to Manager on Thursday and Friday I had a very interesting interview with VP. He talked about how great I was and how they have seen how well I progressed since I started. Then he just went another direction and started explaining how I have to promote myself as a brand and separate from co-workers as their friends and start dressing like the job I want.

Now he never said for me to change my wardrobe or that I had to stop talking to most of the people under me as friends, but I had the impression that I'm supposed too. I in no way wear dirty clothes but I do dress pretty casual (it was allowed) jordans, jeans and a T shirt and I am really close to everyone there.


This whole meeting was just really weird.
