What would you do? I just found out my firm is going to promote 2 people in my year/practice group, but not me. They plan to promote me to NSP the following year. I’m confident I’m not getting fired, but they also paid these two people more than me last year. I have been practicing for longer than both of them. Obviously I’m pissed. To add salt to the wound, one of them is a foul person who has made derogatory comments about the disabled (which I am).

Comparison is the thief of joy. Promotion next year doesn’t sound that bad in a vacuum — are you otherwise happy at your firm? Do you generally like the people you work with, do you like the work you get, is the culture good, etc.?
If you’re happy and paid well enough, it shouldn’t matter that others are getting promoted ahead of you. Stick with it and it’ll shake out how it should.
If you’re not happy, it also shouldn’t matter that others are getting promoted at a stinky firm you don’t wanna be at anyway. Start applying to get out of there.

Are there any other variables in play? Do they work more hours, bring in more work, have better relationships with partners or firm management, etc?

Wait it out - get promoted and then move with the partner title.

Cons:
- culture deck is something else: if they think they can do better than you, they will just let you go

- they think they’re the Yankees: if you’re batting.385, but they think there is someone out there who can bat .400, you’re going to get fired

- they will openly discuss at a meeting why you suck

- Reed Hastings' leadership style was once described as being "unencumbered by emotion". A VP once told him he's not a good listener and tends to be unempathetic.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
