Today, the CEO of our company swung by to answer questions. My question was basically “what would it take to get a promotion.”
His answer, “do what you gotta do, and just keep asking.” I responded that I had already asked quite a bit. To which he said “just keep doing it, you won’t annoy them. You’d be surprised how many times people had to ask.” I revealed my number was 37 (these past 4 years).
Right then and there, he left and then I learn I am fired. I overheard him saying to my boss (direct boss) “37 times? Why would you allow this?”
It made me wonder why I was given the advice to keep asking and told “oh you won’t annoy them.” That clearly wasn’t true, as proven by the following events. Still, shouldn’t have admitted I have any ambition if they didn’t want me to have it.
TLDR; I asked 37 times for a promotion, and the CEO hated that (despite originally telling me to keep at it).
