Had my review (it was good) and manager says that they’ve put me up for promotion/raise saying that there’s no guarantee / not sure if it will get approved — wondering what that means? 🤔 (I’ve been at the company ~2 yrs without any raise/bonuses)

It means that middle management is stuck between what’s good for their team and what’s good for the business. The manager is basically saying, “hope this works out because I have zero control”

Managers usually are given a pool of money to distribute, if the company doesn't give them enough (or any) they can't give anything out.

Usually they put a list in for promotions/raises ...has to get approved up the ladder. If your manager and the leadership manager support your promotion typically it shouldn't be a pro lem unless the agency is doing well then they are tight with their money.

Good luck.
