If you are not getting promoted and know this for sure, take some time off and reset. Come back in a couple weeks and kick ass.

How can you know you're not getting promoted? The roundtables don't start until the 15th.

Why don't you look at your situation as "glass half-full" instead? Talk to your counselor and find out the areas of improvement as per the round table committee members. Network with people and try to do some business development work in the coming weeks. If you don't feel like jumping on a project, try recruiting and training events.

I know it sounds disappointing to hear the bad news. However, keep in mind that's it's a marathon not a sprint.
