Meh--I don't want a promotion. I'm a contractor. This job is about as far from "career-advancing" as it could be; I'm just riding it out until I leave the full-time workforce indefinitely in May. I suppose I could ask for more money for the next three months, but that might give them the idea I want to stay there, if only the right offer were made. Truth is, I hate the place with a violent passion and I'm only there because they pay me more than temp work would and I can quit in May with a clear conscience (I have a huge guilt-complex about leaving any job where I feel they "need" me). It's really more about what an incompetent man this so-called programmer is.
