Have you ever been turned down for a promotion? How did that make you feel? Did you work harder or did it only discourage you?

It was discouraging but did not affect my work. I always give my all, to a fault, in my opinion.

Thank you for the input!

I was incredibly angry, especially with how it was handled. Nothing was mentioned about me being passed over, but then I got an email saying I needed to interview their top candidate (this person would be my boss). After reading his resume and interviewing him, I understood why I wasn't chosen, and was actually excited to work for him. But I was still furious about no one talking to me about it.
To make it worse, the top candidate was hired, I have had to train him, and he is a complete dud. I am still doing 90% of the work for the job.
Given everything, I am now looking for a new job.

Wow, that would be the worst to train the top candidate after all of that. I’m sorry to hear that.

It happened to me, but it was one of the best things that happened to me. I received honest and transparent feedback and I work harder to improve in some areas I had to. In the end I achieved another promotion 8 months later. Receive that NO allowed me to push me to be a better professional and person. Keep it going, ask for feedback and work harder

I guess receiving that No did more help than harm in this situation. Good for you!

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?
