  • This is a look at how I was passed over for a promotion that I needed so desperately. God had bigger and better plans than what I could see...
    When career opportunities present themselves that match your skillset, prayers of job promotion may go unanswered. Do not be dismayed when being passed over for promotion, God has something bigger in mind for you. When God doesn't answer prayer, He is preparing to bless you in ways you may never have thought about before! If you have ever been passed over for a promotion unfairly, keep trusting God. Because even when you can't see what God is doing, He is at work in your life!

    In this video Bob Lotich talks about being passed over for a promotion at work. When it comes to being promoted, you may wonder "Why won't God answer my prayer?" Even when we are passed over for promotion unfairly, this could very well be a blessing in disguise. When God doesn't answer your prayer, keep the faith as He's still working in your life!

    At the age of 45 I am done trying to get promoted. My first job I had I was groomed to a lead position. The guy I was taking over his job refused to retire on time. He was 65. He did not retire till he was 72. I left by then. My second job I was asked to take a lead position with no difference in pay. I refused it and stayed there for 9 years. My current job I was told I was in the running. When I had my 90 day review. I was told he still does not know if he wants to hire a lead yet and he may hire from the outside. Then I knew it will never happen. My boss is 3 years younger then me and is a manager now. I spent 20 years trying to get promoted. I am ok with not advancing. I still have it made.

    The best revenge is getting promoted without getting promoted at work. You have the power to lead by example regardless if you want to hear it from someone else. I'm just going to look better and put work into myself and my interest. Watch and learn anyone can get promoted you don't need a job to do it. Success isn't based just on merits, your relationships with others is more valuable then what your boss can do at work.

  • @2flyb11

    I have been in a company for over 10yrs and they gave the promotion to someone whose been there for 3. Many feel it falls back on my bosses being lazy and not wanting someone who will see what they are or aren't doing. I feel rejected and as if time has been wasted. I pray God reveals to me soon because I'm feeling so sad.

    Thank you, this is so true! Thank you Lord God for guiding us, being the lamp to our feet and light to our path saving us from what we THINK is right at the time and showing us why it isn't. I had a similar situation, had ideal pay at a great company, this job was changing me because of the stress that came with it. I made up my mind no job is worth losing me and God's peace and direction in my life-I decide to leave that meant taking a lower paying job until something better comes around. . When I was 100% certain on this next move, God opened a door within the same company, paying more and I can get back to who God want me to be and act, I love it! We have to step out on faith knowing God ALONE supplies all of our need!
    Thank you Jesus!

I was hurt. It was painful. It was frustrating. My pride was hurt because others after got it. But I trust the Lord, I know He has greater plans for my life as long I don't give up!

Am in that place kind of right now where others are looking at me and wondering why i am peaceful despite the situation. And i have decided infact all i see os the good that God is giving me now amd it's more than they think and know. I see myself as blessed and there is so much good am experiencing even in the limitation. Thanks for sharing am encouraged.💞❤

When i watched your video it touched my heart and cried that God always has plans for us and he is just making us feel this pain to become stronger and this will be better soon. I trust you lord and I lay my life to you. Thank you and it really helped me but time heals pain one day I can forgive them.

    Have been in my current position for 7 years now and have been passed over for promotion time and time again. Someone came to work in to work in my unit within 3 months she was given an promotion then got another promotion within 2 and a half years. I have since given up on a promotion as my boss bluntly stated that he is hiring someone from the out side to fill her position even though I have experience and qualifications I just like my best wasn't enough and he even told me that if I feel that way maybe I should look for something else and I will because I don't need to be treated that way.

    Thanks very much for this story. In today's world everyone must try to think outside of what is considered normal as it relates to jobs and work. If you want to work for a company, and you can get work great. However, as you explain, we never know what is around the corner, maybe a layoff. So, try not to let your current employer pigeon hole your skills. Think about how you are going to get your next job. Thanks for the video.

    My bosses are asking me why I don't want a promotion.
    Personally I refused it several times because the annual gross income is about 8000£ for a responsibility post that brings the work to home thinking about it the entire day after work or even word in your days off.
    Appart from the fact that if something happens you are going to be the first one who is first questioned even if something happen because one worker under your supervision was negligent.
    No thank you, I got a baby on the way and I want to enjoy my life careless.
