What happens when you get passed over for a promotion, again? You’ve done everything you think necessary to get promoted. You’ve been a loyal soldier, putting in your time, doing the job you have and the job you want, working extra hours only to find out you the job was given to someone else.
We know this stings. Sadly, research shows that this is becoming a more common phenomenon for Gen Xers looking to climb the corporate ladder. It becomes near impossible to get ahead when you’re blocked by someone not moving at all (Boomers) or having to fight off those below us grabbing at our ankles (Millennials).
In this week’s episode, we are going to share thoughts, insights, and ideas around what to do when faced with the promotion pass over - which does happen regardless of what generation you sit in. We’re providing you with seven strategies to help you bounce back so you can strive forward.
