      Yes and it sucks!! I work for an organization that takes pride in promoting from within but I’ve noticed everyone getting the promotion is in their 20’s and does not have all the experience I do. I’ve actually been crossed trained in every department and usually is the first to be requested to be moved to help other departments that are short handed. Yet I wasn’t promoted to a trainer or ops mngr ( next two steps from mine). I’m not a kiss ass I just work hard and take pride in what I do. I strive for the best results

      Yes and it sucks 2.
      I´ve been working as tech lead for 2 years and got passed over by a colleague that I trained (my colleague also deserve the promotion, of course).
      This is the 5th time that THEY asked me if I'd like to get a promotion just to refuse afterwards. So frustrating. I've already decided for resignation and already stated them about this decision. I really feel no regret about it because this game is making me sick. I do have a side job and it pay my bills (without luxury).
      This time, my manager told me that my colleague was the chosen one because his salary is cheaper than mine and that he tried hard to hire me in first place but HR refused because there´s no budget to give me a promotion (a raise also). My manager also stated that he really appreciate my job but I feel like it´s not enough. I'm not buying the this budget history btw.
      I have a previous experience as instructor and I'm very appreciated in the company for training new people and I feel deep in my heart that as long as I stay is this position, I will never move up.

      This was my thought too when I was in my 20s. But in the later 30s to mid 40s, I find that moving on, or adapting to a new job (if offered) may be easier said than done, especially in tougher economic times. I was stuck in the pandemic situation during the 3 year mark. And during that time, I could only be grateful I wasn’t one of the many being laid off or furloughed and didn’t dare crave a promotion even though I felt I deserved one. That’s the only reason why I am visiting this channel only now…and not earlier. Lol

    I have been with my company for almost 3 years. I have been a nurse for 9 years and dreamed of working at a place like this, so I knew this is where I wanted my career to stay. During my time here, I have seen many people get promoted. I worked very hard the last couple of year in hopes that I would have the opportunity one day. My supervisor wrote a letter of commendation to my boss’s boss earlier this year. I have trained new employees. I had an excellent job performance evaluation, and I was offered a team lead position. However, I turned the team lead role down for another role that opened up at the same time that I was more interested in. I nailed the interview, everyone seemed to like me and I liked them, and at the time I was the only applicant. More than a month goes by, and I finally am told I did not get it because I’m “not ready.” But they know I want to grow with the company, so they put me on a ‘development track’ (gave me more work to do). I just found out this week, they hired an EXTERNAL candidate who has only been a nurse for 2 years to take that position, which by the way is a trainer role. Talk about a slap in the face. I’m so angry and bitter about it, and that’s what led me to this video. I am glad I’m not alone, but it sure does hurt and now I want to leave this job that I thought was my dream. I have been applying for other jobs but not hearing back and I am just bummed.

    Been working at my job for almost three years, have put in a bunch of extra work (currently working with an injury for that matter) and was passed up for promotion as the ONLY person at the company who applied and as the person who would technically be considered as “next in line”. I wasn’t given any negative feedback but rather teeny tiny nitpicks that sounded like bs excuses to me.
    Apparently, I’m already doing a good job but just not good enough. My performance last week was the best and if I continue like that then they will “consider me next time” (when the hell is that?!)
    Oh and to add insult to injury, I didn’t get an interview and was passed up for an external hire who needs training when I don’t. I’m looking for other options and I don’t think I can get over this honestly.

      @@TikiFoamy38 Thanks for the reassurance. But I’m guessing military and uniformed groups seem to have a more structured career progression than other industries? Admit I, too, am losing patience after the 3-4 year mark too, but partly because the company I work for is actually capable of promoting people really quickly if they want to. I have seen newbies being promoted, and a few others being promoted 3 times a year simply because the stars were aligned (high turnover, bosses leaving, Newly created roles..etc ). Anything seems possible here, so when you are one of the few supposed high performers (at least according to performance reviews) who keep getting passed over time and again, with Management giving a million and one excuses followed by one empty promise after another….one can’t help but feel frustrated.
      The only consolation for which I am grateful for, is that I am still getting decent salary raises each year. Of course, that still comes with the additional leadership responsibilities and visibility, but just no higher title in sight. Hence still in a dilemma whether to seek a new job or not.

    Where I work, the Manager only praises the group, not any individual. "I only stay here because of this team". After I kept hearing the same canned "group" line, I realized she is a people hoarder. Plus, nobody advances or gets pay raises unless a better position is vacated by a quit. There is also no movement allowed between departments! A people hoarder wants to keep valuable employees strapped to a specific chair because it benefits them as a manager. Your growth is absolutely not important to them. The hard part is to recognize this situation quick, and depart. Waiting 5 years is wasted time and likely your pay is not keeping up with CPI.

      If you have been repeatedly passed over, then it's worth considering if it will happen where you are at. Obviously based on one comment I won't speculate on the reason why, but if you feel like your professional growth hasn't met the standards, but you have repeatedly expressed interest this is on your manager for not supporting you. If you are more qualified and making bigger impacts either you're so good they can't promote you because it will hurt the company, your boss is scared you will be more successful and is sabotaging, or something else is at play.

      95% of businesses fail, and all the corporate complaints still exist when you operate a company.
      If entrepreneurship is where your heart is, go for it.

      would you take an ex back who didn't see your value the first time? they don't have a bigger plan for you, they make a choice and want you to think you're special by dangling the carrot and the next time they get it right with you but most of us are salty by then like naw hell naw im not second best.

    What if you were passed over the promotion but were expected to train the person who got the position over you?

    • @JenniferBrick
      @JenniferBrick  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is the most infuriating thing.
      And I've had to do it before too. Remember that the person who got it isn't at fault and do your best to not let your opinion of them be impacted. I've seen this with colleagues and even a couple clients in the past, and they ended up having great and even career changing relationships with the person who got the promo. Think of it this way: they have a skill that exceeds even your awesomeness (which is pretty great!). There may be something you can learn from them.
      If they have the power to make future promo decision about you this is even more important.
      Most importantly, it's ok to not be excited to train them. It's ok to be pissed about it. Just do your best to keep the above in mind, it will bring you better returns in future.
      And if you ever need a pep talk, just drop a comment. I'm here for you friend 🥰

    I just got passed up for a promotion that i deserved. 13 years of experience and they posted the job externally, now I'm in a dead in job. I'm going to slowly start deleting my files from our shared database so when I'm gone, they won't have any info of what I did. I'm also go to change names of key contacts of the process owners for various jobs so they will be all confused and be sending pointless emails to the wrong people to collect documentation. They didn't appreciate my work, so they won't have to refer back to after I'm gone. Treat employees fairly and when they leave, they will ensure they leave you with all the information you need to move forward. Screw them over and they will leave you with more headaches then you can even imagine.

    I decided to move on as I was already unhappy where I was before. It was hard to keep my emotions in check and I found a role where there’s a lot to learn. My biggest fear was that my skills would stagnate and would’ve been useless if I stayed, so I am confident that I made the right decision at the right time.
    I also got the promotion I wanted to a more senior position as well, as a second line IT support technician where in my previous role, I was doing first and second line duties, and this really started to hurt my chances to move up as I was the jack of all trades and master of none. What this told employers subconsciously was that I didn’t know which direction I wanted to take my career.

    I agree mostly with these points. I have been with the same company for 13 years. I started when I was 21, so I was not interested in moving up for a long time. The past 3-4 years though I have been working extensively trying to move up. I had 6 interviews and kept getting turned down. I was at my wits end this year. I told myself with my last interview if I didn't get it I was going to go elsewhere. I started to send out tons of resumes, I was chatting with friends at other companies asking about their jobs and any openings they may have.
    Suddenly, there was a mass restructuring in my company which later caused new job openings. I applied for one last month and was offered the job! This is a role I think I would be most content at compared to the others I applied for and it came at exactly the right time. Looking back some of the roles I thought I wanted may not have been the best fit. I believe if you thoroughly examine your skills and abilities and put things into motion, something will come up whether it's at your current job or elsewhere.

Female bosses often “shit on” male employees just as bad for whatever reason.
