Facing Uncertainty in Career Promotion Discussions
My manager postponed the promotion discussion again. I led the client presentation, trained the newer designer, and somehow that extra responsibility counts when the team needs it but not when progression comes up. I’m not asking for a parade, but I can accept a clear no more easily than another vague maybe. I’ve scheduled a shorter follow-up focused on the actual criteria and a review date. If there’s still no timeline, I may start looking quietly. I don’t want to make it sound like a resignation threat, but I also don’t want to wait until this becomes permanent.
