Overlooked for promotion –again
When you’re looking for promotion and some else gets “your” job it can be frustrating. If you learn from this experience how ever, it could be very useful.
First of all, examine your feelings about why you’re frustrated. Did you actually not want the promotion but because some one you consider less able than you got it you’re annoyed?

Secondly look for some feedback on why you did not get the job. If you want to consider this area furtherClick here
If you still feel you’ve done all the right things to get promotion and yet you’ve being over looked again, then consider the following
Does your employer appear to be treating you with respect?
Did they make sure you heard you were not getting the promotion in a
sensitive fashion- rather than through the grapevine?
Did your boss take you seriously when you went in to talk to him/her?
Have previous commitments to you been met?
Have you got a clear consistent indication of what you need to do to
be promoted?
If you don’t get the sense your boss is trying to treat you fairly, then you need to think seriously about moving on either within the organisation, (if it’s big enough), or to another job. Don’t do this hastily but do consider all your options.
Whilst working for a client, one employee, who had been badly treated and handed in their notice put it very well.
“Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me”
If treated badly by an employer, many people tend to internalise and unknowingly blame themselves. Their self confidence and self esteem tends to plummet, often unnoticed to them. If this continues, it becomes more and more difficult to move on, as the familiar situation is less intimidating then the unknown “new situation” of a new job.
Often the employer then treats that employee even more unfairly on the
“Joe is here years, he’ll never leave principle”.
So if you’ve been unfairly over looked for promotion that you made clear you wanted, take action. You can’t control the actions of your employer and expecting them to change is unrealistic. You can however take control of your own actions.
