Continue to advocate for them, but keep in mind a title doesn’t mean shit. A lot of people have titles their not qualified for. Unfortunately promotions are usually political, a game of favorites, or hopping around
No. You have something they don’t.
Curious—what gender and race are you? And what is the gender and race of the equally qualified candidate who didn’t get promoted?
A little, because that's only natural. But only a little, because the same thing had happened to me previously. And probably will again! Life's not fair, take your victories where you get them and don't stress too much about stuff out of your control.
Do they have a different manager? Different client? Sometimes people are promoted so the company canbill at a higher rate without having to hire anyone new. Especially if its Q4 and they are trying to burn through end of year budgets.
Just get your money and stay humble. You could be laid off in 6 months and they still have a job. Chill.
True. The more money you make the better your chances of getting laid off when the company comes around with the axe.
Remind yourself they may not advocate for themselves— I got a promotion after first expressing interest, then setting up goals with my bosses for a six month timeline, then stating my interest again when it was promotion time. Also they might be great at the more easy to see skills, but are missing goals they set with their boss that are less easy to see from where you sit. Or if it’s a bad company it is just luck lol.
Survivors guilt?
People get promoted at bbdo?
