Have any of you brehs been passed over for a promotion?

[Tapp]

Should I leave now? I'm a top performer but have only been with the company for a year and a half. I don't want my resume to give the impression that I job hop(even though I will job hop if it's in my best interest )
Plus the icing on the cake is that the person who received the promotion does not perform as well as me and is looked down upon by our peers
What should I do? I'm leaning towards leaving

First, find out exactly why you're being passed over could be so. Could be something you don't see.

Secondly, top performer =/= good leader.

Every year you are at a job you need to reassess and decide how staying is helping you and your career. Typically, if i haven't been promoted, gotten access to significantly more experience or a big raise, its time to go.

So if you got passed over, i would try to find out why first and foremost(unless you already know why). And then if you need to take your talents elsewhere then do what you got to do. I was passed over once for a promotion. However the dude had been there like 4 years longer than me and honestly was a beast. I knew i wouldnt ever get promoted with him there. So i dipped. Make 3 times as much now and in hindsight i wish i had left sooner.
