I’ve been talking to my manager about being promoted to the next level Store Manager. To keep it short, I’ve been given the run around especially in hindsight of what more I’m about to share. Most recently she told me her manger would need to see solid performance for a year and to wait for some changes coming. The changes coming have been revealed and it turns out I’m getting a new manager. Furthermore, I find out that a peer who does less and performs unremarkable (but is her friend)…

For what reason are you going to HR for?

What exactly is the complaint?

That someone got promoted and not you?

was promoted to the next level manager very discreetly months ago. What should I do? I feel I would need to prove myself under a new leader and am concerned that if I bring it up my old manager she’ll just defer me to my new manager. Besides me, I have a peer in the same situation who wants to go to HR about it. What should I do? Is there strength in numbers? Should we request a joint meeting with our old manager or pursue separately? Or even not at all and wait to pursue with new manager?

Leave and go somewhere known for upward mobility. Chick-fil-A, unironically. My friend went from a cashier to general manager. She's 19. She's just competent in a sea of nerdowells. Next step, they offer her part ownership in a new store.

How many managers and levels does this store have? Is everyone a manager?

How do you deal with your “mentor” being threatened by your performance and gatekeeping information from you? Then turning around and giving you shit for not knowing things… but they don’t tell you anything and there is no way for you to know. My learning and development is being hindered and I’ve felt this for a long time, but coworker just confirmed this is the case. Now that I know I’m not “crazy” for thinking this, how should I approach this?

Hi fishes!

I am seeing too many post about awards like rising star, Kudos, etc. People keep telling there managers recommended them for these awards.
My manager doesn't interact much with us. I consider myself as some one who has worked hard for project and other intiatives. Should I ask my manager to consider me and if yes how should I initiate it.

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs.

Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
