Great points but all myth at DH. Promotions rarely happen despite what everyone says. You must play the political game and be very good at it. Suck up to Sr management, cross your fingers and hope.
I'm not sure about your office specifically but I mentioned it to my boss about a month ago. Said straight up "I am hoping that my progress this year will put me up for merit in the reviews and if there's anything I need to work on for the next couple months to ensure that happens, can we chat about that?" So ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT :)

No one to ask at your office? Weird question for fishbowl
From my brief time in the game, it's a crapshoot to begin with and voila down to quarterly earnings, "Paris," and making your way on the list ahead of all the other people who've been waiting far too long.
DH = Digitas Health. First, talk to your manager and make sure you fully understand any differences between your work/behavior/expertise/etc and what is expected of you. Don't try to self-assess your work compared to others with the same title, because you will never have all the information used to make money decisions. THEN, have patience because there are far more people trying to get money than there is money. We are constantly asked to prioritize "the list" and we NEVER can move as many people as we want. Lastly, don't shoot the messenger (your manager).
