What results when [pornography] is posted somewhere, often a [message board], that is purportedly [worksafe] (e.g., The New York Times homepage).
Many might think that the appearance of such material on a workplace monitor would lead to firings or at least a stern talking-to. But in one of life's little mysteries, [4chan]'s [/v/] discovered that most employees are actually promoted instead, perhaps in approval for their viewing such interesting internet content.

A [4chan] meme which started on [/v/]. Since /v/ is ostensibly a [work-safe] board, people assume its completely safe to browse the board at work (hence the name). One day, someone posted a [NSFW] image, and one person posted My boss walked by when I had the image open at work, and I got fired. Someone responded I got promoted, implying he was promoted to replace the first guy. Soon after, when someone posted another work-unsafe image, one person responded PROMOTIONS!
People unfamiliar with the phrases origins believed it to be wholly ironic, and thought it was so hilarious they repeated it whenever work-unsafe material finds its way onto the board, and then it became a true [meme].
It should NOT be assumed that bosses like to see their workers watch porn at work.Promotions meaning & definition 2 of Promotions.
-
The purported result of viewing [NSFW] on a (supposedly) worksafe message/imageboard.
Originates from the [/v/] board of [4chan], where it was a common joke to post that you just got fired because your boss caught you looking at [NSFW] material. Was later changed to promotions, probably because the irony/absurdity of it made it funnier.
