Just needed to throw this out there.
I’ve been working for a large fortune 100 company in a mid-levelish position dealing with retirements. Every one-on-one I’ve had with current and prior bosses went great with no issues being brought to my attention. I was rated highly and became a subject matter expert for my team to rely on or so I thought. So a few months ago I get an announcement that all people who have been there since I have, got promoted. Not only that one of the people I trained got promoted above me. Total of 7 people.
I ask my boss about why I was looked over and was given nothing, no reason, etc. She submits for me to be promoted like everyone else and they made a reason that a few months ago my quality score was 1% lower than the expectation. I told them it was because I was assigned to other projects and told them in advance it would be low . I got nothing back after that and they told me I’d have to wait a year to be looked at again.
I feel so embarrassed going to work now. Like I’m the dunce. I started applying elsewhere but the few calls/offers I got were for less than what I make now. I need to be making more and I can’t afford to quit now without a good offer. Just sucks and I feel like a failure. I stopped doing all my extra work and just did the bare minimum. This resulted in many things not getting completed but I kind of don’t care. I don’t see why the perfect people who now send me power trip level messages can’t handle it. Even doing the bare minimum I’m still getting high ratings. I just hate this.
Thanks for reading.
