My aunt's advice to me is to enjoy at work and always see yourself as a mercenary(the company isn't yours, you shouldn't feel obligated to work yourself too hard). If you feel like you've mastered everything at your current job but your boss still won't promote you, try to look for other companies that will give you that role but don't resign yet, more companies will fight for you because you're not desperate. My aunt wanted to be a COO in her former company but her boss promoted other employee and gave her more responsibilities instead. Then she resigned and moved to another company that gave her that role and a car as a bonus. Her former boss realized he's wrong and begged her to come back but she rejected him hahaha.

The only place I ever worked where management and HR behaved in such a common-sense manner as you describe was Digital Equipment Corporation back in the day. Every other place has been the complete opposite -- completely incompetent people got promoted and brilliant people stayed at the same level or got laid off. One manager (who candidly told me I was making more than he was) laid out all of the things necessary to get promoted, and my response, was, "You mean I nave to be a schmooze." His response was a resounding yes. The smartest people and best contributors I have worked with over the past four decades have not been schmoozes. Such is life in the engineering world.

Hi Brian! Thanks for this video. I agree with everything that you said there - make sure your work and accomplishments are visible. But I would add one more thing - the things you mentioned, like a clear career path and understandable requirements are basically a checklist of a healthy work environment. Imho, if the boss is intentionally vague about the advancement, or coincidentally never has time to talk about those things, it might be a good reason to look for another opportunity.

@jena.t 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for this additional advice! While I was watching I was realizing that my boss has never completed a performance evaluation for me and a few other employees in the 6 years I've been there (or if he has, it's never discussed it with me). I've mentioned to him a few years in a row that I am continuing my education to pursue bigger and better positions than the one I'm currently in, but he refuses to understand what exactly that means and tells me I need to discuss with another manager below him, who has no official say. It's very frustrating being in a negative work environment. I've been on the search for a new job for over a year now but don't have the education to support it yet (can only do school part time since I'm already working full time, and have two other part time jobs to supplement my income!) - maybe it's time to take the leap anyways..

@crystalcole888 2 жыл бұрын

I am so sorry but I have to disagree with most of this video. This video shows you how things SHOULD work when you are trying to get promoted. This is not how things work. This is the conventional wisdom that is going to get you marginalized for the rest of your career. It's not the quality of your work that's going to get you promoted. The better your work, the more you're going to intimidate your fellow coworkers, and in many cases your boss. Individuals who take great initiative risk upsetting the established systems that upper management have built. You will most likely be isolated and forced out of the organization over time, after being used for all you're good for. Working hard and extra effort at your actual job does not pay off. The second part of the video is more accurate. Building networks, focusing on your boss's needs, being seen with the right people, etc.. That's how you get promoted. Being exceptional at your job is how you stir up jealousy, resentment, and fear from above and below. You obviously can't be completely useless, but just try following the advice in this video and see what happens. You don't earn promotions through hard work, you earn them through your social skills and maneuvering. It's 100% not how it should be, but that is how it is. I would very much like to be wrong. I'm commenting because I followed this type of advice for my entire career, and it has been a disaster. I'm so sorry to give a negative review to your video Brian. The rest of your videos are wonderful, and I found them very useful, but this feel good advice has to stop. This is not reality for the majority of organizations. You don't have to take my word for it. To anyone reading this: Look around at your current organization. Look at the caliber of person that made it to the top of that organization. I hope that they were all the hardest workers, the best problem solvers, the most innovative..... I think we all know who makes it to the top. Not every time, but enough of the time to make us all sick. Do you think you're going to be rewarded by those people for your skills and work ethic? All I'm saying, is make sure you examine your organization and the people that get promoted. Never mind what they say, pay attention what they do. If they truly value those wonderful qualities listed in the video, then go for it. But don't be a fool. Most of the time the best workers get used and discarded. Your boss promotes people who are no threat to them, to the established systems, and to all his buddies.

All I can add is a true story. I know, I lived it. I used to work at a meat processing plant on the production floor. My job was menial. I had a college degree and was doing a job that even High School drop outs with a GED saw as being below them. I ran the electric pallet jack to put bins of raw meat into the hopper for a meat grinder. Yeah, that menial. But I worked hard, stayed positive, and did not complain. The bosses watched me for about a year. I went from being the guy they expected to quit in a week or so to becoming a part of the team. I told my bosses once that I did not want a leadership position. They said nothing. Then one day while I was working on the line, one of the big bosses came up to me and said "Lets go." He took me to an interview for a highly sought after slot in a leadership training class. The nice things he said about me surprised me. I got the slot in the class. My coworkers, many of whom had far more time on the job were mad that they got passed over. Oh yeah, of all the nice things that were said about me, college was not mentioned. Then Covid hit, etc. Now I have my dream job and am using the same approach I used at the meat processing plant to move up. I have already had a coworker tell me that I am going to move up the company ladder fast. It is simple to me. Just do the job well no matter how menial it is. Be positive and be nice to, but too friendly, with people who are going nowhere. They are easy to spot. If a person as stupid as me who makes rocks look like Einstein can do it, anyone can.

I was going to roughly say the same thing. I have worked in companies were nepotism is the way forward. Examples such as a women in a supermarket I worked at got promoted after sleeping with the manager. A financial company I worked for, the payroll manager only promoted their friends and it got to the point where nobody applied for internal positions, as you knew who's job it already was for. My current company in the last couple of months promoted one of the pa's to a department leader, after she started dating the ceo. This is normal, and after 25 years of work, I fully understand that unless you have either something on the manager above, or your really good friends, promotion is just not realistic.

@Vinnie-cv5qv Жыл бұрын

My old marketing professor told the class something that always rings true. Look at your manager. Is he/she someone who will move up the ladder or will be in middle management forever. If your manager moves up, more than likely either his whole team moves up or at least he/she will be in a position to make recommendations for members of his team to get promoted. With a lousy manager, odds are you will be stuck too. My professor said, always look for the next job when you are perfectly happy in your current job and reach for the moon. Go for something that offers a lot more money and a higher position. You need to make a vertical, not a lateral move. I always followed that advice and when I interviewed and did not get a position, I saw it as a learning experience. I was not desperate for a job, but when I did get an offer, it was such a huge leap from my current position that I took it. Oh, and sometimes no matter how well you perform, you will never get the promotion. It is not you, it is office politics. It is time to move on or be a sucker in that position as you see younger and less experienced co-workers get promotions.

Hi! I got a promotion recently after I highlighted to the manager about my numerous achievements that I’m a top performer in key areas like upsells, enrolments, guest surveys and that I profoundly contribute to the department. While talking she thanked me for that however mentioned that she sees me tired and new role will take all my time, that’s the reason they are not promoting me (idk but sounded like bullshit to me and passive aggressive), though she added she’ll talk to upper management about possibilities. So this month I started in a new role , however I don’t see changes in my duties, I have a feeling she just promoted me to keep me at work but without investing in me so I don’t learn new and don’t progress 😢 What would be your advice?

@rebecca_stone 2 жыл бұрын

Another great video, Brian!! 100% agree with all your advice in this one. As a senior manager in a corporate setting, for anyone who's reported to me and made my job easier, I make sure I highlight their "wins" and great work to the C-suite whenever I can, and especially when decisions are being made on creating new roles at the company. Making your boss's job easier ("managing up") is so important, and so is taking your own steps to have visibility across different departments, not just your own circle. :)

I'm more the "classic waitress" type of customers service, which is sassy but if you act right you get more than expected. Which is sadly not appreciated any more.

@mitch-lifestyle1692 2 жыл бұрын

Many employees have the exact opposite problem, particularly in this hot job market. They're happy and content in their current roles, yet management keeps hinting at and floating a promotion they feel the employee would excel at. How does the employee decline the promotion without coming across as overly negative or even hostile ? Once a promotion is declined by the employee, they may no longer be viewed as a "team player", even though they continue to perform adequately in their current position.

@johnchedsey1306 2 жыл бұрын

I would say I'm in this category. I genuinely have no interest in managing people and enjoy the general day to day work of my field. There really isn't a "promotion" to be had, other than adding "senior" before my job title. The only thing that does interest me is adding new skills to my arsenal and essentially moving laterally, so long as I don't have to manage people.

Of course, I have an awesome boss, so I'm not sure how well this would work where people suck.

I agree about the issue of hanging out with 'friends' at work. I've clearly seen how smart colleagues would hang out with their group leaders and managers and they've gotten ahead over the years, while others who they joined with naturally were chummy only with people on the same level and are pretty much stuck in the same 'worker' job as Joes. Hanging out with the managers, at least if it is merely to got to lunch with them, is not a thing about job security rather to be exposed to a higher mindset and not wallow in the self-pity whining about work all the time.

I agree in principle, but sometimes in reality it works out different. Sometimes people play favorites. They offer opportunities to people they like and that stages performance. A case in point is that we have someone that was a peer, a lead and had the worst metrics of the leads. This person was given a project for a dashboard that was outside of what we do, although it had to do with what we do. Anyway, this person was promoted ahead of the other leads including myself. My team had the best metrics, I had to cover my area at 2 different instances of staff shortages of 2 and then 3 months in one area in particular and I was told I was just doing my job. The dashboard wasn't even accurate. Here's where it gets even better: We had an all service staff meeting and one of the leads posted about the promotion and the lack of transparency on Slido. It got 18 thumbs up. Our bosses boss gaslit us and told us we were wrong. Really? We've had high turnover since. I agree Brian, but when BS politics and bad management happen, the ideal state doesn't matter.

I just moved to a different location which has me with only a 15 minute commute from my employer..at the lowest of the low interest rates prior to the interest rate hikes that just occurred over the past 5 months (my total interest is basically the cost of a small car). The new job would need to cover a significant pay raise, and it would need to offset the extra interest I'd have to pay if I were to move again into the same comparable house elsewhere. Not to mention a partial reset in vacation days and potential transition to the hybrid scam of PTO/sick time. That's just not going to happen, so I'm personally stuck, but I am very grateful.

Yes, but if you do your job really well in a company, your boss may not want you to move because he doesn't want to train a new person to do your job. It can be as simple as that. They don't want you to be promoted some where else in the company.

Exactly! Why egoistic narcissist manager would want to make you move up or transfer you to other deparment when he/she knows how to handle you to squeez out of you the stats that he,she needs for his,her own evaluation or bonus. I have seen that too that is why incompetent people are promoted faster, they do not cause a personal lost to the manager when exit their current positions.

But... brown nosing people are often make the worst possible leaders. When they run out of people to climb over, they tend to start pointing fingers back down the chain when they begin to fail. Slippery slope, and not always the case, but common. It's better to find peers with leadership skills combined with a good work ethic, learn from them and help to make them look good. You look better in the process and good leaders rise together.

@cuivre2004 2 жыл бұрын

Very good recitation of the template of how it 'should be'. I was tapped for a promotion from my boss and it was approved by the Executive Director- but it was then quashed by some unseen force in HR. They know nothing about my work ethic, skillsets, process improvements, and me picking up numerous discretionary duties (lead the summer intern program) to help the business and coworkers. I honestly think they are spying on my on-line activity and are shadow canceling me, professionally. I saw a video by a recruiter/ HR professional that was very over the top, but admitted they veto any conservative in a company they detect. ('some friendly HR advice" video on KZfaq.) Great subject to cover in your next video!

Hey Brian and Viewers, I'm sorry for posting this kinda unrelated question but I can't seem to find a video on here that gives any insight. Something happened to me today that has never happened before when offered a job. During the initial call we went over salary expectations and everything seemed in-line. They called back today after the 3rd interview and offered me the job, yay! But they offered me $10,000 more for my salary than the high end of my range I gave them. Why would a company do that? Am I overthinking things? Of course, I accepted!

You know what my problem is with this channel, and all channels like this? They always talk about corporate type jobs. I've spent my entire career in small local businesses. They don't have KPIs. Their HR is a single person that also has a different main job in the company. Your only performance review is your boss telling you when you're fucking up. You're usually the only person doing a job. Often times the only person doing multiple jobs. I want advice for those jobs. But I can't get them anywhere. It's always advice for major corporations.

Man, I hate this so much. KPI's have very little indication of how good you are at what you do, or how good you would be in a future role. Someone who is great at what they do will focus on what needs to be done for the group to be successful. Not what senior leaders, who haven't held a non-executive job this century, say your KPIs are. Poor KPIs can weed out bad individuals, but good KPIs will never highlight the individuals that shine.

@Nature-ep5cu 4 ай бұрын

If a diversity hire as u put it can come into a company and get a better offer or promotion than people already there, then it's obvious the people already there aren't bright or have the skills to grow their skill set. Same thing I see with immigrants, they are pro active, hardworking and proactive in growing to the next level while the people who have been around before them keep bitching about them while they keep progressing. What I learned from immigrants or whatever u want to call it "Diversity Hire" they rise above obstacles put in place to hinder them and constant silly talks like yours. So maybe u should get busy like them and stop bitching or just accept your low status faith.
