      There are no promotion in our department. I've been mobbed and gaslighting at work for over 12 years till present. Full of NPD cowards at work and will end up exposing themselves.. I'm a top worker, jealous of me big time and of my money and condo too. Defamation of character. Saying I'm a stalker, I drink, I'm crazy. All bs. Managers are scared of the bullies, they do nothing, union, police are all totally useless too. Toxic workplace in healthcare. Been working 38 years and never been suspended. Action speaks louder than words. But this crap never ends trying to scare the women at work, all the insecure and toxic women. I will never quit due to these lazy bums with no life. These 2 guys should be locked up and have the manager fired.

      As an employer, I'd be honest with you. If you are so good at your job, how can you expect me to promote you? Cos....I cannot find a better replacement if I let you move on! Before I promote someone I'm considering for promotion, I usually employ another as their 'apprentice'. Some people are actually 'turned off' by this arrangement because they think their jobs are being threatened so they hold back from teaching this 'apprentice'. And as you would have expected, they never get promoted...because again...no replacement available. Because the apprentice could never rise up to the same level I expect them to. But if these people (candidate for promotion) see it positively and trains the other person to perform as well as they do. Then it motivates me to promote them because now I have an option to move them forward, plus it shows not just competency, it also shows magnanimity and self confidence.

      @@marvelcomiks8078I appreciate your insight in this matter. Do you deal with this problem of having people who are really good at their jobs? I know a lot of people who are so good at what they do, they're almost considered specialist, not employees. But I think there is a way around that. Do you plan on promoting people in your business when they join the company? Is there a future outlook for what they will be doing 6 months or 1 year from now?

      Exactly and it often happens. I was retained by my director when I decided to change my current organisation. My immediate manager knew that I was in a position to change my reporting to the director instead of him which could place his position in question. He called me and said that I can choose anyone to report to and he won't have any grudge 😂. That year I had other goals to achieve and I didn't want any conflicts hence I opted for a safer. option. Now, after 2 years I resigned again and this time I knew very well who can have what grudges 😂 and didn't discuss retention. Although, unfortunately my previous director too changed the organisation.

I was told there is nothing they can do then a role came up that would be a promotion for me and they put a qualification and reason why I couldn’t apply so went to the streets and found a much much better role that I wish I found years ago when I gave my resignation response was wow this is a shock and coming out of the blue?

There was others in the organization knew my skills and were excited to hire me when I starting looking for change. I we in new position for 3 months and the old team was hemorrhaging engineers. I was asked to come back to lead team since the respected me. I did so under my own terms. Later when the 2 teams were merged, I was asked if I wanted to lead new team. I declined and was put at the staff level to enable multiple teams with my knowledge and experience. Key, know your worth.

    Best advice I ever got from an experienced professor in undergrad was ‘don’t glorify your company or boss, they’re humans being humans’. This mindset always allowed me to focus on myself and led to superior accomplishments, which spoke for themselves. It gave me leverage in my industry. This leverage kept my employers on their toes, and I was presented with offers. I didn’t have to beg anybody. My advice is focus on your self improvement always, stay disciplined, and don’t be afraid to change/leave. Leverage is the key to any negotiation. If you’re a strong worker, have leverage, and aren’t afraid to leave offers will always be at your doorstep.

      Bad workers will always prevail but they won't be promoted either, if they do and they become a good manager then they will get promoted, however, bad managers don't last long. The difference between a good manager and bad manager isn't whether they are nice or evil, it's whether if they are strong or weak. You can be the most evil boss out there but that evil boss is strong and commands respect and motivates his employee, technically he's a good boss, however if your a nice boss and you let all your employees slide and slack and they walk over you, you are a weak boss and you will get fired faster than you know it

    I asked my manager numerous times over a year about how I could grow in my job, give me difficult stretch projects for visibility and leadership be completely out of my comfort zone. Finally he gave stretch projects, where I outperfomed each project. In my performance review he told me I was his highest performer. He would put me on a promotion list as a top candidate but first had to switch categories with another coworker who was an under performer. The verbal promotion consideration would be reviewed in 10 months after taking the new role, provided I suceed in managing the new category, and if their was still budget that I MIGHT get promoted... I applied internally for a different role/department that was an actual promotion+pay raise. Got the new job transfer within 2 months and handed my manager 2-weeks notice. Never, ever take anything verbal or for granted from your manager affecting your career unless there is a contract. Over time it makes people forgetful or even resentful on verbal commitments. It usually turns out like a demotion than a promotion.

      Your colleague’s work advancement problem is what happening to me right now. What you told him, is what I realized a year ago during a review based on something one of managers said. She was trying to be diplomatic at first with her words but being a blunt person and not being able to find the right words she finally just blurted out “you don’t need to do anything else!” I had been asking to learn new skills and tasks outside my current job and made it clear in words on my review form that I wanted to move up in the company. Both managers for the second said I needed to prove myself more but I am a high performer, always have been, they constantly give me work (from other coworkers that are overwhelmed) but that is within the range of my current job. The kicker, at the end of the review they gave another large regularly ongoing task within my current job range.
      I got a small raise but I knew it was just to keep me where I am so I don’t leave the company.
      I plan to leave in a year after I teach myself a computer program (which I have started) that I feel I need on my resume.

      I’ve seen some really dumb CEOs that are CEOs because they refuse to let anyone hold them accountable and they blame others for everything they did wrong and whenever someone tries to hold them accountable or accept accountability themselves, they go after them, blame them, and fire them to either squash dissent or because they view them as weak, easy targets. A lot of boards don’t care if you’re competent or good at the job. They value strength over competence. Either so the CEO will never admit there is anything wrong with the company’s products or service or because they’re afraid the CEO will blame the board for the company’s problems if the board tries to hold the CEO accountable, so they give the CEO whatever they want to save their own seats on the board. And some CEOs stack the board with friends or people who know nothing about the business/industry. Bob Iger is one example of many who do all of the things I just mentioned. If you want to be successful, never accept accountability for anything no matter how wrong you are and always point the finger at others and blame them for anything that you did wrong. Accepting accountability is viewed as a sign of weakness. I noticed through observation that’s how you gain respect and get rewarded when I was young and made adjustments and was rewarded handsomely. My parents lied to me my entire life and told me the exact opposite would lead to success when it actually lead to nothing. If I had listened to them, I never would have been able to have a family and provide for them. These are common traits of psychopaths. Only 1% of the population are psychopaths but 20% of business leaders are. As odd as it sounds, people love them. They can lie and claim they don’t, but their actions in regards to who they promote and where they put their money proves they love them. If you want to succeed, be one of them. Look at Bob Iger. He’s one of many who has done all of these things. Worth almost a billion dollars. Even if he loses to Peltz, he’s still and walks away with a 9 figure net worth. As awful as he is, don’t hate the player, hate the game. He knew how to play the game and he’s laughing all the way to the bank.

    Thankfully one manager saw some potential in me and helped me move into a role that suits me better and included a promotion to Senior Engineer after just two years.
    In line with what you said Kara, I made my desires known (to progress up the technical career ladder), sought higher-level duties, worked on my leadership and project management skills and made sure to interact with senior management when they visited. The new role aligns directly with my sponsor's pet projects and helps progress his vision.
    I count myself lucky but also accept credit that my abilities and dedication helped open the door to opportunity. There's no doubt that sitting at my desk and pumping out quality work wasn't going to do it alone. I pushed as hard as I thought I could to make sure I was considered for advancement at the first opportunity. Now there's already talk of next steps in a couple more years.

    Alot of this I can agree with here. But hard work is the foundation for all of this advice. So on top of hardwork, just take every/appreciate opportunity you can get, be strategic, and associate yourself with mentors/sponsors.

    The Formula is well-known. if you live in a western country.
    1. you are white male &
    2. you were born to a well-to-do family
    You need bare minimum effort for that promotion.
    Other end:
    1. you are non-white &
    2. you are an average achiever
    You need to work 100 times harder than your white average coworker provided that
    you do not live in the Midwest.
    My advice: do the bare minimum, work only to learn operations of businesses.
    Use your downtime to work on your own product or service. Don't give away your great ideas to
    your boss or company. Let others win the rat race.
    Work on making your own business the major income while treating your company-job the side
    hustle. In this way, you do not keep false expectations on promotions, you will not be frustrated
    when your boss's favorite employee (who gets all major projects) get promoted.

    Promotions at the end of the day depends on whether you are the favourite of your boss. If you are not the boss will tell you that nothing what you have done in the past count and you will need to define a plan to get promoted, but they can’t guarantee you will get promoted. That way they will have the excuse not to promote you if you are not their favourite person

    - I want a better salary
    - I like the company and I would like to stay
    We talk about it, in 3 months I will comunícate the same and tell I will be searching actively for a new job but in 2 months I had my promotion.

    Thank you for sharing your comprehensive insights on this topic. Could you provide a video that addresses situations similar to a highly capable and potential individual who is deeply involved in strategic planning, leading high-profile projects, and managing the largest team in the branch? Despite these contributions, I find myself (ME) overlooked for promotions, suggesting a possible personal conflict with management. My performance evaluations consistently rank between "Very Good" and "Outstanding," and I've been recognized as both Employee of the Year and Employee of the Month. Furthermore, I've successfully mentored my team members, leading to their promotions. At this moment, I am feeling overwhelmed and at a loss for words.
    I would greatly appreciate any guidance or resources you might have.

After taking on managerial duties I have gone to my supervisor and the AVP about my goals and outlined what I want they told me we don’t do out of cycle raises and there is no opportunity for promotion. They have stopped collaborating with me on projects and no longer respond when I have suggestions for process improvements. They liked it more when I silently took on additional tasks.

Is anyone else doing these managerial duties now, or are you still doing them? I am asking for clarity before I respond with a suggestion. Thank you

    Ugh I have this issue at my company. What upsets me is the false hope managers give. I understand it’s their psychological tactic to make me work harder but with broken promises comes with broken trust and I cannot commit to a manager who lies to me about false opportunities. I would respect a manager who was upfront with me and told me look, “we really like you and you are doing a good job but it’s really hard to promote you because we can’t find someone to replace you who would perform on par, is there anything we can do to ensure you will decide to stay longer in this position?”. Promotions aren’t everything and there are other ways of negotiating but managers are too stingy or lazy to propose or commit to any arrangement that would benefit the productive worker! I always get the sad face when it’s time for me to submit my resignation letter for a higher paying job but I honestly feel like it’s the same cycle every job!
