My tech lead promised me a promotion 2 months ago. It never came.

Work · Madrid

Side A (age 58)

Told it was "basically done" 2 months ago and I turned down an outside offer on that basis. Now it's a budget question again. I made a real decision on that promise.

Side B (age 73)

I said it was agreed at my level, and it was. It died two levels up in a freeze I found out about the same week you did. I should never have said it out loud before it was signed.
