In my experience a promotion has always been expected, and it usually felt overdue. I'm sure some people have been surprised by promotions, but that seems uncommon. I suspect telling someone they were going to be promoted once they gave notice is some kind of tactic. The person leaving must have felt that promotions were not an option, and they may have been right about that.

Well said !
I feel like it's usually not a surprise. At least, it never has been in my experience. It does sound like a tactic to get them to stay but they might also just be promoting quality leadership candidates.

Promotion is often anticipated, but it can still come as a surprise when it’s driven by exceptional results delivered to the company.
