Illusion of Progress

Level A is a constant.

In 2003 joined my present company. I reported to X who reported to A. I was a PL. In 2004 I got promoted to PM. At the same time a layer was created between X and A. So Me->X->Y->A. In 2005 I started reporting to Y. So Me->Y->A. In 2006 I got promoted to AGM and shipped to US. Here once again reporting became, Me->X->Y->A. In 2008 I got yet another promotion to become a Delivery Manager and my reporting became Me->Y->A. In 2009 Y introduced another layer and currently my reporting is Me->Z->Y->A. That is after 6 years in the company and 3 promotions.

I call this illusion of progress. Its quite Dilbert like.
