It may also be that someone does not WANT to be promoted. I get high praise from higher ups, everyone iny group comes to me for suggestions and advice.

I am, pretty low on the totem pole. I have no desire to move up to a position where Inspend more time making spreadsheets into lies tomplease upper management than doing actual tangible work. Plus the company seems like its always fucking over managers randomly the higher you go. Feels more secure down here.

Don't hate on yourself for not wanting to move up. Your job is valuable, or people wouldn't give you money to do it. If you're asking me, there's a certain respect you have to give people who prioritize their happiness over money or status. It's the opposite of greed, which I find commendable. What's the point of money if you're not happy enough to enjoy it?

You may one day find yourself in a company or position where you do want to move up. But for now there's no shame in being content.
