Have you quit after being passed over for promotion?

[jonsprong]

Always quit. You weren't promoted because they don't appreciate your work.

[softinix]

Here is what it is: 3 years no promotion: get out. 5 years with no other promotion: get out. Plain and simple. This is my honest advice after 20 years in the trenches. Don’t waste your time life is really too short for all this crap

[MrRickyMoody]

If you’re passed over for somebody less qualified is always the reason to leave.

[laid]

I was overlooked 3 times for promotion, so I did, indeed, actually quit.

[curtneyk]

I have been with my company for almost 3 years. I have been a nurse for 9 years and dreamed of working at a place like this, so I knew this is where I wanted my career to stay. During my time here, I have seen many people get promoted. I worked very hard the last couple of year in hopes that I would have the opportunity one day. My supervisor wrote a letter of commendation to my boss’s boss earlier this year. I have trained new employees. I had an excellent job performance evaluation, and I was offered a team lead position. However, I turned the team lead role down for another role that opened up at the same time that I was more interested in. I nailed the interview, everyone seemed to like me and I liked them, and at the time I was the only applicant. More than a month goes by, and I finally am told I did not get it because I’m “not ready.” But they know I want to grow with the company, so they put me on a ‘development track’ (gave me more work to do). I just found out this week, they hired an EXTERNAL candidate who has only been a nurse for 2 years to take that position, which by the way is a trainer role. Talk about a slap in the face. I’m so angry and bitter about it, and that’s what led me to this video. I am glad I’m not alone, but it sure does hurt and now I want to leave this job that I thought was my dream. I have been applying for other jobs but not hearing back and I am just bummed.

They promised me a promotion 5 months ago with a raise. All verbally said…there was always an excuse as to why. Others got promoted who don’t even know how to do what I do. This false promising has me now looking for something else. They never mentioned the promotion to me again. I can’t sit and wait around busting my a55 for something that’ll never happen.

[samirulislam]

I'm going through this now applied for a higher position at the bank im working at got excellent feedback but they gave the job to someone who had been at the department for less then 1 year feel like crying 😢

[hremaddox]

Nine years in my position and didn't even make it to 2nd interview for a promotion despite stellar job performance reviews. There is a pension and student loan forgiveness. I'm sticking at it for one more year to get my loans forgiven. Clearly if I'm not appreciated enough to go to leadership after nine years, I'm not going to be.

[paulabayona]

I am sorry but staying is terrible advice. Why should I stay in a place where they don’t value me just because “I’m familiar with it”. Insane…

[konstantinalfi]

Work night shifts for years, sacrificed my health and personal life, and… got passed over a promotion 4 times without any feedback. Sick of this bs, time to leave.

[tmac]

Been working at my job for almost three years, have put in a bunch of extra work (currently working with an injury for that matter) and was passed up for promotion as the ONLY person at the company who applied and as the person who would technically be considered as “next in line”. I wasn’t given any negative feedback but rather teeny tiny nitpicks that sounded like bs excuses to me.

Apparently, I’m already doing a good job but just not good enough. My performance last week was the best and if I continue like that then they will “consider me next time” (when the hell is that?!)

Oh and to add insult to injury, I didn’t get an interview and was passed up for an external hire who needs training when I don’t. I’m looking for other options and I don’t think I can get over this honestly.

[fatfitnessvang]

I quit my position because I trained a new hired and they prompted him and not me... so why would I stay with a company like that.

[madeinmantras]

Great advice; best to stay focused on your goals rather than being emotional.

[ProfessorHeatherAustin]

Jennifer! Great perspective. It's such a bummer when this happens. I like your thoughts and ideas.

[FitTrisha]

That’s definitely their problem. They never notice the work I do or me in general. I try to talk to them and they intentionally ignore me! I can’t stay where I’m not appreciated or wanted. I’ve worked at Taco John’s for 20 years and never been trained for anything new. Plus I’ve been passed up for promotions multiple times. It’s not worth it anymore and not fair. They just don’t like me or appreciate me.

[jano]

I never regret leaving a job. I might not like the new job but I have never had issues getting another or eventually going back to my previous employer 😊

[abramaguayo]

Been at my Company for 12.5 yrs. Plenty of experience in each of our departments. Well respected by my peers and good communication skills. But guys who have been here less time then me get the Supervisor jobs I have told my manager that I want. This has happened more then once. It is very hard to stay positive.

[joemama]

I'm going to keep it real here... companies helping people after they've been rejected is a rare event.

[ericcalabrese]

Turned down for a promotion told i can get it in a smaller market. Turned all of their failing markets numbers from red to green. Turned around variance spending around. Told i couldnt get that job either and they gave it to someone else who didnt do shit because i wasnt 'proven enough'

Im leaving.
