Manager assured me that he is willing to reschedule promotion a few months in advance but he did something similar to a former colleague ie promise them and did not get them promoted and they eventually left How can I ensure this does not get repeated? Have a meeting with skip soon. My manager says that I am doing fine but fine is not enough right???
need more detail, what do you mean reschedule promotion
Not entirely sure but I think he means that the former colleague did not get the promotion as promised
Yes he can reschedule it 6 months ahead of schedule
You can’t ensure this does not get repeated, simply can’t
Sure what Can I do in my capacity to avoid that it doesn’t get repeated?
The manager can only promise to put your name thru, do all the necessary prep etc but cannot guarantee that it will go thru.
Alright — but in this situation what would you do if you had a meeting with skip ? How would you understand his thought process?
If only we could read people's thought process. I guess you can ask him. How confident, what makes him confident, what can go wrong, what you can do to improve that confidence etc.
You mean postpone the promotion? Why would anyone be unhappy if they got an early promotion?
or prepone it? :trollface:
If he can "prepone" i bet he can speak atleast 3 languages. How many can you? @Pandora Dale
