According to a survey by the online HR platform, approximately 2.09 million people in Taiwan suffer from promotion anxiety, with most fearing the added responsibilities and stresses of becoming a manager for just a slight salary bump. Many individuals feel that the incentives for promotions are inadequate, with one individual sharing that the monthly bonus of NT$1,000 provided for being a reserve cadre is overshadowed by earnings from freelance work. With the trend of side hustles and diverse income sources, climbing the corporate ladder is no longer the sole option to increase income. It was found that 68.7% of those who experienced promotions felt anxious afterward, reflecting the mismatch between salary increases and increased workload, stress, and responsibility. Companies are advised to reconsider the balancing act between salary, workload, and training resources when enticing employees into managerial positions.
