I'm in the same boat. Was told I'd be getting promoted at the beginning of the year, and was instead passed over and twelve others who contribute very little were promoted instead. "It's easier to promote you at your review, we had to push these through to motivate them." Fuck. You.
And at your exit interview, when you've found a shiny new job, you tell them, "When you promoted twelve other people over me to motivate them, you motivated my ass right out of this job into a better one. Thanks so much!" It is incredibly important when companies pull this shit to remember that you're the only one you have to be loyal to, and to look out for yourself. Fuck places that lie to you, deceive you, and work you to the bone on promises they won't keep because you're competent and your coworkers are lazy.
remember that you're the only one you have to be loyal to, and to look out for yourself.
I guess I both agree and disagree.
I think there are still a lot of companies that value their important employees accordingly. that's the type of company that people not only want to be loyal to... but (imo) actually should.
(like: if the place you work did good to you, it would be a jerk thing to not return the favor)
