To go fast, go alone. To go far, go to getter.

I need to go fast for these next 2-3 months. Honestly might just go monk mode for a bit. Each day is gonna either be a Monday or a Sunday :pachaha:

Just carve out the few weekends were I'll let up a bit (MDW, Juneteenth, July 4th, LDW)
That's where I'm at w it. I'm tryna lock in until about August outside of a hometown visit in a few months.

Dope thread.

My boss pulled me to the side and told me straight I'm not getting the promotion.

  1. I don't hav enough experience
  2. The other candidates are better - all went to uni and already do the job
  3. One of the newest members of the team so I'm at the bottom of the list.

All make sense, he told me what I have to do for next time when the opportunity comes around. So I'm been locking in these past weeks at work; actually using my time widely, coding on the side and studying for a technologist cert I need to get since I didn't attend uni.

Nice advice but I would also keep track of this. I’ve been in similar situations and they were just all talk. But I guess it also depends on what you currently do and what the promotion would be.

Thank breh, it's all civil engineering related. The promotion would be from a traffic technician to technologist. My biggest handicap is my educational background is electrical and there are very few positions in my org for me that don't require a uni degree unless I backdoor it like how I did for this position.

But you're right, if they wanted to they could give it to me.
