Every employee has this inner desire within themselves to be promoted and be ahead from their contemporaries in their organization. However not everyone who desires to be promoted wants to work hard for that coveted promotion they simply take it easy. Then when they are not chosen they sulk and blame anyone but themselves.
Employees who
want to be promoted must work for it; the best starting point is to work hard
in their present job assignment. You work hard not because you’re expecting to
be promoted you work hard because that is the right action to do.
Every worker must work hard so that they could give equitable value to the
salary that they receive from their organization. Promotion is simply a reward
for a person who works hard. But there are also times that no matter how you
work hard you are not chosen to be promoted. So what would you do? Will you
sulk and be indifferent to your organization?
The proper attitude to have is to continue on working with zeal even if you are not chosen for promoting. You will always have a good karma once you choose to continue on working with passion no matter what the outcome of your desire to be promoted. For example, the good karma would come in the guise of an unexpected promotion or a job offer from another company.
Let us say that you continue to work with enthusiasm even if you were not promoted. Then it happened that there again was a window for promotion. So you aspired again and by this time you’re expecting that you will now bag the coveted promotion. However to your great dismay you were not chosen again even if you were the most qualified.
So what would you do now?
If you believe in yourself and you firmly believe in your competence,
it’s high time for you to walk away from your present employment. Look for an
organization that would value your hard work and competence! - Marino J.
