Nothing like getting continual praise by the full chain of leadership but getting overlooked for multiple rounds of promos. “What would we do without you!?” You’re about to find out.

Praise means you’re doing well at your current job not that you ready for a promotion. You don’t get promoted for being good at your current job you show you are ready for the next

Counterpoint: All praise should be framed and come from a place of growth, not a place of now.

❌ You really showed you handled yourself well with that work.

✅ You really nailed that client meeting, they trust you. Keep doing this because in a couple of years (set expectation) 50% of the (next role) is doing just that.

Don’t listen to these people that say the praise is for doing your current job well. If you’re getting passed up for promotions, go!

A promotion means you are doing a new job, not that you were doing your current job well. You may be doing your current job very well, and the reward for that is your paycheck, and hopefully merit increases over time. But doing great at your current job does not earn you a promotion to a new job.

I once got a hefty raise and was let go in a mass layoff 6 weeks later. It was only then I knew why the CCO was so flip about giving me the raise. But it boosted my severance which was based on salary.

Any advice?
