I just had my yearly review and although it wasn’t bad I still am not receiving a promotion that has been dangled in front of me since I started at the company 2 years ago. I keep getting told it’s because of my lack of attention to detail but my job role has shifted greatly. I have had to learn several different roles while working remotely across global time zones.
I have also had issues with my managers bad leadership as I feel they do not treat me with respect and constantly pick at me and create hostility to where other people have noticed and I’ve had to have had HR step in. Yet she keeps getting promoted and I keep getting told I’m not good enough. Meanwhile we have had several new people join roles adjacent to mine and risen quickly.
I am not confident my promotion is contingent on my lack of attention to detail but a bad manager who runs ego first and team second. I am really down about this and feel totally hopeless. Any advice would help or even just a word of encouragement.
Edit to add:
I would love to just bounce to another company or even leverage another offer. Except everywhere I’ve applied has either denied me or offered me part-time/freelance work with no benefits and my insurance with this company is really good. It’s one of those corporations that boast “best place to work” but way underpay. At least my insurance is decent which was honestly life changing when I first started.
I went to a top Ivy League college and this place is a big brand name media company but I live with my parents because I can’t afford to move out. Trying to stay positive. Thank you everyone.
