Few months ago during 1:1 with my manager, I was told that if I successfully delivered project on time they'd initiate my promotion request with higher ups. Fast forward two months, completed the project on time. Found out that I'd reporting to a new manager henceforth. I am hoping that the new manager will be scheduling a meeting quite soon. When it happens, I'd like to bring up my promotion topic. How exactly should I bring up this topic? Would appreciate any advise from others who have been in similar situation.
^^ You Sir definitely have seen some shit.
Your previous manager shoukd be doing this positive hand off if he or she had any real intentions of promoting you. Your bringing up won't be of much value because honestly everyone wants to be promoted like yesterday.
