Get the ninja daggermug. noun
When you're awarded a fancy new title and a fresh pile of responsibilities, but your paycheck doesn’t move an inch. Like a ninja, this promotion slips in silently, sounds impressive, might even look impactful—but remains completely undetectable in your bank account.
Origin:
Rumored to have started among government employees, where budget freezes were common but the need for “recognition” was high. Managers, unable to offer raises, began handing out sleek new titles like “Senior Specialist” or “Lead Coordinator” as stealthy morale boosters. The term “ninja promotion” was coined after someone joked that their new role was like a ninja—deadly serious, highly skilled, and totally invisible on payday.
Often includes:
A new title
More meetings
Higher expectations
No money
A LinkedIn update and a slice of cake
