My manager won’t promote me. We submitted promo doc for review but he keeps coming back with gaps every quarter!! He is a newly promoted manager and doesnt have the backbone to back up my case during promotion review meetings! I’ve seen peers with less experience get promoted on other teams. I’ve lost patience, how do I politely tell him I quit if I don’t get promoted this time? Please help! Not an English-native so Communication is not my strongest asset! He doesn’t want to lose people as he has resources shortage ! #EY #amazon #deloitte
By quitting
Just quit
I could quit, but don’t want to waste the years I’ve spent here go to a waste. Promotion will look good on resume.no?
Google sunk cost fallacy before you decide to continue further at the company.
Just quit
Apply elsewhere. If they want to promote you they would. If you want corner them, ask what you would need to do to be promoted next cycle and then make sure you make progress towards that.
I’ve done this for 3 quarters, he comes up with different gaps every time:(
Time to start interviewing
Q U I T
Simply just quit, why you just tell?
Get an external offer and give them a two week notice
Yes
Notice to leave the job
I would say something along these lines - “Hey Manager, I’ve noticed that my promotion package is not getting approved inspite of you putting it before the committee multiple times. I want to help you succeed in that in the upcoming cycle, is there any way I can help? Would getting an offer outside help you make my case stronger? I would have no issue getting a better offer outside if it’s required. Please let me know.” If that doesn’t do it, then there’s no better way. Managers mostly only learn when their good employees quit, harsh reality.
Actually that’s a really good strategy. But you may have to press the outside offers question or they’ll gloss over it with the usual bullshit
You should secure the offer before threatening to get a better offer, imho. That’s how you get true leverage - you have to be willing to walk on the spot if you don’t get your way.
Quit
Step 1: Go to manager Step 2: Say “Manager, I’ll quit if not promoted.” Step 3: Wait.
Is this for real? Is there a polite way to say?
There is nothing impolite about it, just say it. Or you can say "i quit! Unless you make me boss of the whole company!" And when he says with tears in his eyes that he can't you can say "ok... Then I will grudgingly agree to stay if you at least promote me"
