I recently received a big promotion, and joined the ranks of 'middle management". The problem is, everyone is telling me to go celebrate, but I can't figure out how. So far, suggestions from friends and coworkers include - a new car (german, supposedly), a plasma tv, new suites, a fancy watch, golf clubs, etc. I am not sure if I actually NEED any of these; I am a low maintanence nerdy guy - i like my honda, my old tv, my cheap clubs that I use to play at cheap golf courses, my timex watch that never fails me. How important is it to "look" the part? Is it enough that I am obvioulsy doing a good job, or should I splurge so that I can fit the stereotype? Is there a downside to not playing along?
