Recently, I applied for an IJP (Internal Job Posting) rolled out for the position of Credit Controller. I was selected and had to wait for the Promotion Letter for 3 months. Finally, when I received the letter a few days ago, I was surprised to see that it stated I had been promoted as an Officer and my salary had been revised. This is not acceptable. Please advise.

Hi Deepak,
There are a lot of variables in a scene like this. If you have a good relationship with your manager, the first thing is to take them into confidence and send them an official email stating your position. Send the same mail to HR as well. Always remember to put things down on paper (email is the best way).
One important thing - always use an assertive tone - while speaking and while writing.

Hi Umesh,
Thank you for your reply. I had sent an email to my operations manager. He directed it to HR to look into it. However, no one from HR replied to that email. After 3 weeks, my operations manager discussed the issue with us, stating that it cannot be amended. He tried to convince us that the position name does not really matter; you should focus on the job role you are doing. I am really upset, Umesh. I have two options now: either to accept what is forced on me or to escalate it further.
:(

Hi, Deepak.
Such times call for patience and clarity of mind.
In fact, you have 3 options - Accept, escalate, or change organization. What should be your choice will only be determined by your circumstances and what will make you happy.
If I were in your position (it is likely that my circumstances and yours are different), then I would escalate the matter to the next level in HR (if my first mail was to the HR executive, then the next would be his boss and so forth). If I did not get a satisfactory explanation or resolution, I would escalate it right up to the HR Head and the Ops head.
The key is to seek an explanation as to why you were not given the post of Credit Controller. Check the reasons.
Look at this example - In the Indian cricket team, Dravid wants to become a 1st line Fast pace bowler and come in to bat at No. 8.
I'm sure you must be asking yourself - Has Umesh gone out of his mind? Read on...
At times, it is likely that in the IJP, it is found that the candidate may not have all the qualities required for a particular designation, and yet the organization wants to reward the candidate for the performance shown in the current role. In such a case, the candidate is given a different position and a promotion.
If this has been the case, you can also check with HR and Ops the qualities/attributes/benchmarks they expect to see in a Credit Controller and start building yourself for the same.
If this has not been the case and they are not able to provide a satisfactory explanation, then you have only 2 choices - Accept or change organization. From what you have described, I'm sure that your organization definitely appreciates you else they would not have given you that promotion.
If you look at changing organizations, it would still be wiser to accept and then change.
Whatever you choose, choose it after giving it a lot of calm thought. And choose an option that will genuinely make you happy or lead you towards happiness.
And in case you have any more queries or wish to discuss this further, please contact me at query@zcc.co.in.
Zing along,
Umesh Soman

Just check the job responsibilities and tasks assigned to the new position. Assess the prospects of that position for your career. If you believe it would be advantageous for your career prospects, then proceed; otherwise, consider declining the offer.
