I'm struggling with junior team members who don't seem to get how to take ownership and critically think, yet are asking for promotions. It almost feels entitled to ask for that yet not be able to acknowledge shortcomings and seek feedback.

How are managers feeling about the work culture and performance of their teams?

I’ve learned a couple of things. Most people see taking ownership as part of their promotion. They don’t want to do that work if they’re not being paid. Managers think they should show that they can do the work before giving the promotion. It’s up to each company to set what the expected culture should be.

I feel this normally happens when expectations and objectives aren’t in alignment. You can meet objectives but not be a good candidate for a promotion. I expect those looking for a promotion to display the critical thinking to take on the next level, and the self awareness to develop action plans against areas where they have opportunities. If they aren’t proactively building plans to approach a promotion with me, they shouldn’t expect to be promoted.

Seriously! We have kids barely a year out of college demanding senior promotion bc someone told them they were special... you can have great potential and delivery but it doesn't make up for experience

Its like managing your kids. They expect much more from you for so little effort.
I personally dont think they are wrong its the perspective and reality that are not aligned.
It takes couple of years and some experience for people to realize how companies work and where the promotions come from.

Small firm (my boss, me, & a paralegal). After a hearing I did not handle, boss intended to seek review of the ruling in its entirety. What was communicated to me by paralegal was to seek review of a portion.

Seeking review is now time-barred. Boss is not upset, but this is 1 case & 1 problem. There are other cases & other stories.

How do I talk to my boss about being more present (boss is never in office, has “too many” emails, never answers his phone) without being seen as insubordinate?
