I was “pitched” allegedly into the promotion pipeline with HR finally for September but we will see. I can run the stats on all our teams and still besting by far half of my old team (now down to 4, a director, two VPs and a Sr VP from 8 when I started in 22). The new VP started in November and has a total of $157k, $90k of which I gave to them. I trust my current boss far more than the others but only to a certain point.
It’s not a competition and our Val’s are more than the revenue but it’s annoying because it’s all about convincing leadership you’re doing all this great work- but they don’t take accountability for their bad decisions. My former boss who they fired was all about that just talking and at times pulling off stuff like an 800k month, but he took a lot of shortcuts (like selling research to a FAANG in a country where their platform is illegal) and then just ghosting the actual projects or they become massive shyt shows til they let him go.
With that said, my “coworkers” like me a lot and while it makes my job a lot easier I def don’t get credit for it. Right now selling a pretty big (maybe up to 270k) project with a new client-and the main hurdle with the people I staffed- is they absolutely don’t want to work with our former sector lead (also my former boss.) who’s now head of ~d*e*i (the real name is too traceable). She’s very disrespectful of people’s time, efforts and dismisses their work to overstep.
Basically always selling externally and internally, building strong relationships on both, they 100% can and do turn down projects bc of who’s on it but I usually get yeses. And managing peoples personalities and fukkups across projects be like I guess that’s not showing strong leadership?
