Some people take 6+ years to be promoted while others have been promoted several times in a short period of time with less work experience. It's all about who you know and whether you fit the archetype. Young, attractive and wealthy. No mid-year promotions due to the pandemic but that didn't include executives who were again promoted. Certain teams are experiencing mass attrition due to the lack of upward mobility for managers, senior managers and directors. People are overworked and underpaid. Not enough head count to manage the massive workload. Endless shifts in direction and lack of leadership have devolved us from a design lead business to just another poorly run CPG. Disgusted during calibration meetings when I hear the same names praised again and again. Outright failure is seen as challenging the status quo. You have ineffective teams failing year after year costing the business tens of millions of dollars yet these are the people you continue to shower with praise and promotions. Senior leadership is totally disconnected from the day-to-day business as well as the realities of raising a family on a stagnant salary during a pandemic. They fly private on the company dime to have off-sites just so they can get out of the house while the rest of us are struggling to make ends meet.
