Got the news that i will not be considered for promotion. I am fairly certain who has said what and I thought and considered them as my friends - I dont claim to be perfect by any means but should we not expect basic professional courtesy to be told about scope for improvement during the year - i worked hard and am very very good at what i do - throughout the year and inspite of a very difficult medical diagnostic ( not even sure how long i will keep my health) - i always did the best i could. i just feel I cant really trust anyone anymore.
Work and rewards are never fair to everyone. Don't be childish. If you think you're not being rewarded for what you did, just move to another one
Cisco is a bit harsh but yeah I mean you can't really trust anyone in competitive environments. You have to not only do a good job but also get the right visibility. The higher you go the more the latter seems like luck
This just tells me your work culture is not good and you should find a company that better aligns to your belief and ways of working.
Similar thing happened to me. Leave.
Soft, entitled people will post on Blind about being soft and entitled. #workharderthaneveryoneelse
I’m sorry. It sucks, I am sure they have their reasons, good or bad. Get another job if you think you are not appreciated. It’s the right thing to do. The wrong thing to do it’s to stay hold a grudge and affect the team/org.
You’ll never escape work politics and backstabbing but realize your ego might be clouding how you may have participated or that you need more time and experience to promote. Be brutally honest with yourself. Whomever betrayed you probably knew they could make a case against you, because of you. Learn like hell and put your ego on ice. Leave if you choose but it’s not drastically different anywhere else.
Winner for biggest asshole right here
My thoughts exactly, no one cares that you didn’t get promoted, if you whined less you might be considered next time.
