Would you take a promotion without a raise? Apparently a whole lot of people would. In fact, according to research by staffing firm OfficeTeam, a whopping 64 percent of employees surveyed said they would take a better job title -- without the better paycheck. Broken down by gender, 72 percent of men and 55 percent of women said they’d take a promotion without a pay raise. And by age … 72 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds were good with a higher title without higher salary, and 61 percent of those 35-54 were good with that scenario. The promotion without pay was the least popular with workers 55 and up … with 53 percent in that age group OK with it. (The Ladders)
