I am sorry.
I didn't mean it as a negative.
In fact, when I read the post,
it felt like the vice president was stringing the individual contributor along
dangling a promotion to the individual contributor but never granting it.
Yes,
I agree a move could be upward or sideways
but basically what I understood from the OP is
the VP is either malicious or incompetent.
I would love to learn why a VP would string along ICs like this...
why not speak the truth?
Do they think we are idiots?
- rednafi 2y agoWhile it’s an employers’ market now, it many regions, getting good people has become equally difficult. Seen it in first person and that could be one reason why the VP is acting like this.
- lostdog 2y agoSometimes the VP gets surprised with budget or headcount constraints. Or maybe they were expecting the IC to perform a bit better this quarter, but other people involved in the promo process do not feel that the IC has met the bar, and block the promo. And yeah, it's always possible that the VP is just saying what's necessary to keep the IC on the team and productive, but there's plenty of cases where the VP is trying for your promo, and we cannot tell from OPs comment exactly what's going on here.
