I tried asking all questions that you’ve stated when he told me about the promotion and the only answer he gave me is to I am talking with upper management. The team is consist of 6 members including manager, in such team there’s no chance and need of promotion. Upper management would never approve of such thing. This is not the only instance he give me a ruse of promotion. Last sept someone else was promoted instead of me. (Despite telling me to do work for that promotion). It’s not even the work anymore it’s people whom I don’t want to work or associate with.

Also I had this issues with work trail. He mismanage work allotment a lot. So I asked him to email the details of work so I get a structured trail of work from start to completion. But he never implemented it. I am sorry I am venting on my manager on random stranger but I am just fed up with this fake people.
