Thanks for the mention Kai. Important subject this as it can lead to a lot of employee morale issues, and isn't easy for a company to course correct if they get it wrong.
Absolutely. One thing that always works though is this: giving 100% in our job. Because even if not recognised internally, we will become visible to the outside world
I do think that assuming responsibilities beyond your current job is indeed a good way to get promoted. Whether there is a "grudge" by promoting someone may be different from company to company - but in my experience any promotion has to be justified by the person recommending the promotion (usually the manager) and it usually also reflects positive on them so there are some good incentives at play. Personally, I was always ecstatic when I was able to promote someone internally in my years at Finance but I appreciate that the culture can be different everywhere.
Sadly my bosses are only interested in promoting those they think will curry favor with the higher ups. I’ve been passed over for multiple full time positions over the past 9 years. Been told they can only have so many full timers only to pull people whose productivity is much less off the street and give them full time. If it wasn’t for getting more money and benefits I wouldn’t care. Fed up.
I hear you Randy. It’s not an uncommon story and of course in an ideal world that shouldn’t be the case. It does reveal the culture of an organisation though and what works for some doesn’t for others. By no means do I suggest you should do something extreme here but it appears that your personal desire of being valued also as a part time worker isn’t that accepted where you are. I’m certain though, especially now that every company is reorienting themselves after Covid that there are plenty of employers coming up who may actually look for what you have to offer. As always, feel free to reach out personally to chat!
This video is not helpful at all. this is not about justifying management decision to pass you over but rather whether you should stay there. we came here bc we already asked ourselves those questions.
Thank you so much for taking the time and leaving feedback. It is a great source for me to continue improving on what people like to know and want to focus on. To your actual point: I am not suggesting we justify management decisions that could certainly be wrong. What I am promoting is to look at it from various angles. For example, when I asked myself "Do I deserve the promotion" and looked critically in the mirror, I was suddenly far more able to articulate the reasons that I should be promoted, which helped in the long run. Of course, feel free to share YOUR story with me as I am always curious and happy to discuss.

Most promotions are just reconfirmation that you are already doing the duties of the new role with begrudging recognition via formal job title change
