I think the self-promotion to get promoted is a little odd. I've built my case the last 12 months. Watching people scramble to build s case in 2 weeks is laughable.

You either got it or you don't, build your internal network, everyone at round table or whatever it's called at your firm can see through the bullshit folks spew in their self reviews, make sure your cc is up to speed and has reached out to the senior folks you worked with, and make sales

My floor supervisor (direct report) married the operations manager two weeks ago. I can’t say anything to either of them without hearing it repeated back to me from the other one. The OPs manager and I are on the Executive management team, and it’s making it very difficult to brainstorm about changes that need to take place throughout the organization when I can’t trust him to keep it to himself. Even if he didn’t share information, there are other issues…see below
