If I know my manager (of two months) plans to recommend against my promotion, should I still have them talk to my counselor?

Why would you deliberately have an opposing view influence the possibility of your promotion?

I would say, hell nah.

Because that manager might be “in” with the partners on the round table and it might be worthwhile getting ahead of the situation by having his/her counselor speak with the manager.

Not at my firm...

What do your past managers believe ? And what is the reasoning they are recommending against it ?

Yes, have them talk to your counselor. It might help. Make sure your counselor is with you though.

Absolutely. Your coach should be on your side and should hear the BS your manager is spouting

No. You don't need to ask for support to everyone. If you know they won't speak in your favor, some folks might anchor on it and ruin your chances all together. Just stay away from it.

I’m in a situation with a senior on my project. They are up for promotion, and I am strongly advising against it. All the previous managers leading this person share the same thought. It would make a difference if I talked to their Councelor

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards... We were beginning to make so much progress on transforming our school culture, but this year is erasing that and then some. Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

There’s an opportunity to step up into the role of Director of Product, but I’ve only got 2.5 years of experience and am already being paid below average by like 15%. I’ve accepted this because A. My company has historically underpaid people but I still like the people and B. My lack of experience. I think a promotion would come with a raise, but the percentage difference would most likely only grow and I’m not sure that would be ok with the responsibilities I’d be stepping into. Any advice?
