"Could" is such a big word. It means nothing, but it is intended to be very valuable. Get that promotion in writing. Otherwise it's a carrot to dangle upon you.
> they'd better not send you on that expensive training course
You know what's worse than training people and then these people leaving? Not training them and then these people staying.
You insist on giving me reasons to stay away from that company.

- justsid 3y agoSome people will talk about ideals all day without even realizing that they too live in the real world. So many things could be great, it’s just not the reality that we are in.
- HeavyStorm 3y agoThose are naive arguments. Most people need employment, and most people want to get better wages by climbing the ladder. Get it in writting? When in the history of the mankind it ever happened? Not to anyone I know, and I would never make such promises as well. Promotion depends on a lot of things, and promising something like that in writing is stupid. And once you're tagged as someone who might be leaving, some employers really may prefer no to invest in you. Why should they? You might leave. The whole argument of "the risk of training and they staying" depends entirely on how you gauge risk. In this case, if you have positive evidence that they are unhappy, then you know that the risk of leaving higher than staying.
