You’re not wrong to feel stung, but it’s usually a generic feel‑good line. Instead of calling that out, ask for something concrete like, “If I want to be the next promotion, what exact skills, metrics, or milestones do you need to see, and by when?” so you get clarity instead of vibes.
No. Just be glad that you get positive feedback and don’t compare yourself to others or what the boss says about them. The other advice from others to ask for specifics is a good one, but coming from a person of faith I don’t worry too much about that stuff. God’s got my back whether I get a promotion or not.
Faith doesn’t preclude responsibility. In my first comment I agreed that getting specific info from the manager is a good one. And take steps to meet your goals from there. I don’t believe anyone is free from struggles, self-imposed or otherwise. If I mess up, I ask myself what I can learn from the experience, and why God allowed it for my discipline and my good. If I do well, I am grateful and thank God. Either way, I know he’s got my back. And ultimately he does because this world isn’t my home and not worth spinning my wheels on things that don’t matter like comparing myself to others.
