Ha! I think the promotion committees have a rubber stamp with that justification. It's so vague and unactionable, yet they tell _everyone_ that on their first go round.
The second time around, you get to point their feedback and say "Last time you told me to do X, Y, and Z. I did X, Y, and Z. Shit or get off the pot."
- mtlynch 9y agoYeah, exactly. I only found out after I did my first promo attempt that the committee is expected to grant the promotion if you've fixed the gap the last committee identified. I wish I'd known about that earlier so I could have gotten my gaps defined explicitly.
