[Mephist0pheLes]

Promote to the level u r comfortable with then jus do the minimal

 

[kreja]

Learn to read the room more important. Knowledge is nothing if not applied at the right place right time right person.

Depends on how hungry you are. Locals will say act blur live longer than jjww in forum saying FT got promoted because they are hungrier.

 

[d3n]

act blur live longer.

nowadays promotions sometimes dun come with pay increment (maybe some), give u fancy title and throw u loads of saikang

I was in an MNC company for almost 16 years... as a contract staff to full-time staff, after 4 rounds of promotion, my last position was regional team lead, leading 9 engineers across the Asia Pacific. I was damn knowledgeable and experienced with my job, and able to provide great solutions to my staff and my boss (Based in India). My daily work was like walking in the park, enjoying the sun and birds singing ; however, when it came to the final promotion for the senior regional manager position.... I was gunned down flat because one of the junior (Only 7 years in the company) colleague based in India was promoted. Later, I found out that he could suck up to my boss hahaha

its very political to fight for promotion at the workplace... you need to assess if there is even room for promotion first.... if there is... then you need to identify who are your competitors... what are the consequences of beating them to an elevated position... sometimes win the promotion but suffer after that cos others have the power to make you miserable then you rather forgo the chance.... and you don't do all that with your own capabilities... you need support... can the support you win over really hold their ground and push you up and keep you there? if the chess game doesn't make sense then just do the minimum... set a threshold period to jump to another company if circumstances don't evolve into chances...

 

[Thoreldan]

Very or barely?

 

[Kanko San]

i hit the ceiling in my current company. just quiet quitting: shows up; leaves early. do the bare minimum, except when occasionally have to lead some corporate wide initiatives

 

[euro2012]

You need to lie low and suck up to your boss.
If you know more, you do more when the others cannot finish their work.
Who will the boss pass the remaining sai kang to ?
You should know the answer.

thats when u need to voice out and ask for more $.. nothing is free

 

[carpark]

Stay low profile to colleagues only show towards my direct Superior

Team lead in an MNC is a Team Manager

 

[Langrisser999]

Acting blur can avoid alot of extra work leh. Somemore if the salary is low dun bother to give use or teach too much advance skill. The superior will sure assign you to do other people jobs.

For example, my other team members doesnt how to use vlookup and only I know. I just quietly use it on my end to speed up my progress. It is not my job to teach them.
