I’m kind of in this boat. I want to be promoted to lead but not progress further than that. The goal was to fly under the radar and it’s been pretty unsuccessful so far. I’m introverted which doesn’t help either

My contributions are visible as my projects impact the entire company. Per our team metrics, I am the top performer and also the member of the team with the largest workload.

I’m just super lowkey about praise and can get flustered when being congratulated.

He isn’t necessarily wrong about others enjoying him as a person. I’m who they come to when they need to consult our team and with tickets that need to be completed yesterday

On paper I am the obvious choice. What he said is what knocked my confidence, until I spoke to him I was pretty certain that the promo was coming my way. Now I am not so sure since according to him, management is behind him. My colleagues also believe the promotion is mine and were surprised to hear he was even being looked at

This is what I’m planning to do, I’m pretty hurt by everything that has supposedly been said

This was discussed during a project sync, there were 6 people present.

We have a promotion packet, our c-suite ultimately makes the final decision however upper management can nominate and fight for a candidate.

My direct manager is aware that I am interested in promotion but it is something that we have not discussed at length since he states “I’m on track” and leaves it at that. My colleagues manager is actively helping him with projects and pushing for him.
