All year my manager's talking up my upcoming promotion, all year, and then says there was “no room at the moment” during year-end reviews. I ask what that means and get word salad. Have I just been played?

A lot of companies/departments have a fixed number of each level of role per organization that tie back to the needs of the group. Your manager likely expected a more senior person to be moving out and that didn’t come to fruition. Or, they expected some new big account to come in that didn’t. If the work hasn’t changed, it’s hard to justify simply giving someone a promotion because they are a strong talent. It’s like buying a 6 bedroom home when you don’t have any kids.

Get a timeline or stop expecting it. Managers will say anything to keep you around and not pay more.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I was hired on with a company at the same time as my male coworker. We work the exact position, different projects.
I asked him flat out what his salary was when he hired on. His salary is at minimum 15% more. He’s never had a raise.
Neither one of us had any experience in this specific position but he didn’t even have experience in the field, which I did.
I requested a performance and salary review because it’s my annual review time anyway. Best way to address this? Also applying elsewhere.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?
