Through no fault of my own, I've somehow been promoted to a role that's 60% project management. This screenshot is my daily reality now and I feel like I've been trapped by my own success.

I can't imagine any scenario where I'd consider project management a promotion.

Same. I worked as a project coordinator for a few months for a sign company (temp job). It was supposed to turn into a real job but then they asked how I felt about project management and I was like… umm… so literally all the stuff I do now because the PMs here don’t do shit, but nobody to handle it for me when it fails? Meh. I’d rather stay as a coordinator without all the people management.

Needless to say they ran out my contract and reneged the offer. I’m not upset, tho it hurt at the time.
