Yeah. Bummer to find out, we know. But it's easy to romanticize promotions like you would a relationship, but no one's gonna know exactly what you want unless you tell them, OK? Whether it's review szn or you're having career conversations with your boss, you need to make it clear exactly what you expect based on your performance, and if you're given an offer you get that shit in writing QUICKLY. Advocate for yourself bb, you're worth it.
