Yeah, you're right. It's the best solution. My stupid friend was promoted last week, not me. I'm pissed beyond imagination. If I didn't have a loan, I'd quit immediately that day.
@@jacksmedia7754 that's a real shame about why you didn't get promoted . At least you detected it was time to move on and didn't waste any more time with that employer.
New subbie! So I literally was being retrained to become a manager after stepping down from management because of personal issues. When the opportunity came for me to lead a shift on my own, I didn't do a good job so I lost the opportunity to move up again. I know it's because of confidence. Do you think it's a good idea to ask for another opportunity or seek work somewhere else? I know I can do it.
taking feedback is definitely key. not to mention that you don't have a choice, i.e. the feedback is given to you whether you like it or not..... :-) hence, it is best to take it with open mind and see if you could benefit from them. if it gets too tough, then it is time to look for a another job.
7 years at the same compnay, and overlooked for a promotion twice, but they were given to external hires. I always took on more work, became a problem solver, and had great relationships with all....time to move on, and ive lesrned to not stay loyal to a company.
Not totally true you can do all that she said and still won't be. The odds of being promoted in general is about 3-5%. Most people are promoted based on emotion not merit. If you're male, height is key. If female, attractiveness. If you're a male and under 5'9" you have zero to no chance. If you're a homely woman, no chance. Even if you have done all that she mentioned.
This depends on the employers recruitment syle my current employer uses anyomous where the applicant dose not put their name or anything that could make them identifiable in the skills , knowledge & experience section of the application form that way it's free from bias and down to the applicants demonstrating in writing their suitability for the vacancy to make make through the sift to the interview stage of the application process. I think your correct as people are not trained in giving & recieving feedback.
Being principled and ethical might stop you from being promoted. Companies and their leaders want someone with a ride-or-die attitude, and being ethical just creates more work and fewer options, especially when ethical concerns are overcalled.
I used to work for two non-profit organizations and they really played discrimination, especially the executive director who only hired they friends and harassed several staffs. I had experience the most sicker job in American social services discriminated agencies in America. When they cheat the county government and you refuse to help them cheat then they hate you and silently attack you.
Think how I can do more than is expected? I asked my boss to keep me in the loop, before I asked him flat out I listened as well as I could and made suggestions.......he kept ping ponging about ideas, so that I could not get anywhere or even lay out any plan.
Absolutely great video. However, sometimes because of the organization's promotion budget(employees), only limited employees will get promotion even if everyone is giving the best performance. Is the budgeted number impacted by the promotion of an employee who is even doing a great job? Kara is this right?
Absolutely! Because promotions have to be factored into the budget. If there's not enough money, promotion will have to be put on hold, unless the individual agrees to a title change but no pay bump.
I have been overlooked for promotion many times despite being more capable than my peers due to- - I don't have the tradition university-degree path into the industry - I am generally much more efficient at the work to hand, and/or put in the necessary to get things done. "Too good at my job" for sure. - I don't promote myself much, a lot of what I do goes unnoticed except when there's an emergency or I'm not there to sort it - I am an older steadying influence, not a bright young thang - I don't care much for politics in the workplace TBH I have never expressed a burning desire to be promoted to my employer, so when I feel I need to get more I just go and look for a better paying job with slightly more seniority. I have always been great at what I do with a good work attitude and easily fitted into the culture - in short, highly employable. Employers should be smart enough to realise that just because you aren't sending weekly memos to your skip boss doesn't mean you don't want to progress or don't have ambition. They should pay attention to the work being done and the influence being made, and reward appropriately. Their loss.
She sounds like she works for corporate. you can do all of these things and never, ever advance. but corporate profits off of all this extra work that you're doing.
Do you think people "MUST" stay in the same company forever? Like in the 1950s? Manage your career as if it is a company you own, selling services to big corporations. You are capable of delivering a higher grade service and this customer does not want to buy? Sell to another.
0:45 this is when you start looking for a new job and then let your boss know that someone else wants to hire you. Her advice is bad and makes no sense.

Toxic advice that fails to grasp that structural problems in a company can be impossible to change.....and you are stuck with something you did not implement in the first place. I would love anyone giving advice to give a real world problem instead of giving such poor advice as here. You always habe to be positive. How is that achievable?
These are good points but today promotions are all polical and how well people like you. Thanks for this
Exactly. You have to be part of the click or be a kiss 🍑
Challenge is when you are already doing more and stretching to do more yet somehow it’s not enough !
I feel this.
The best way to get promoted and make more money is simply change jobs.
That's one strategy :)
Yeah, you're right. It's the best solution. My stupid friend was promoted last week, not me. I'm pissed beyond imagination. If I didn't have a loan, I'd quit immediately that day.
This the way to say they do not want you 😂
Have you ever missed out on a promotion? Why do you think you didn't get it?

The only reward for good and hard work is more work. And then hiring a external is grounds to quit
These "external hires" seem to be hiring friends in my experience. Not going out to recruiters because the in house people aren't skilled enough.
Thanks for this excellent video

5:29 yeah she says this but it's only valid if it is done in a respectful manner.

Meritocracy is not entirely true. They promote people as a retention counter offer, not because they are the best.
My anxiety holds me back. I made great strides, then my brother died. I took a giant step backward!
I feel for you. Take some time to readjust, then you can think again about your career or promotions.
not usually on merit or contribution, it's more political than that

your video is so helpful . I love you
I'm glad you think the videos are helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
Not getting promoted and having someone less experience than you get the job equals change job aka quit
2:00 so you do literally what you're paid to do? Yeah that makes sense. So what you really mean is you don't do more than what you're paid to do?
0:45 this is when you start looking for a new job and then let your boss know that someone else wants to hire you. Her advice is bad and makes no sense.
The only reward for hard and good workers is MORE WORK. 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️

I'm so glad you like these videos! I think you should try to ask for another opportunity in your company first before you look elsewhere.
@Kara Ronin I will do just that, thank you so much for responding!!🙂
Seek somewhere else
Perhaps you weren't the CEO's son and not the boss' favorite?
3:54 okay I agreed with her until she said it's based on contributions or merit. That's just straight bullshit if I've ever heard.
It’s all about perceptions, not about how well you do your job. Be kind and predictable.

Indian bosses are not like this
incompetent management. endofstory. I do all you stated. I just change jobs
