Since I began my role as a Front Desk Officer, I’ve consistently strived to deliver exceptional service, earning the appreciation of my oprations manager and some supervisors, and they recommended me to the General Manager for recognition in all areas of my performance.

However, this recognition seems to have caused some tension with certain supervisors, like the house keeping supervisor and the marketing supervisor who have expressed frustration towards me. Recently, the General Manager decided to replace underperforming supervisors, and with my boss's recommendation, I’ve been considered for a potential promotion to one of these leadership positions. While I am honored by this opportunity, I do have concerns that my advancement might be misinterpreted by some as a cause for the current changes in the team.

I want to make it clear that my focus has always been on contributing positively to the team, and I never intended for my growth to negatively impact anyone else’s position. I am simply eager to continue to learn, improve, and contribute to the success of the hotel.
Please let me know if i should go for the offer of taking the suppervisor possition?
  • The fact is, you are not responsible for people's reaction toward anything. If you accept the role, there would be people that will be bothered. If... you don't, there will be people who will be bothered. So ask yourself, can I really please all of them? I don't know for you but that's practically and theoretically impossible.

    The question that matters here is, have I earned the spot I am being given? Answer it with all honesty. Afterwards the answer will be there. Do not let people failure be your burden.
