You gave them everything—and they still didn’t promote you.

In this episode of Lost in Tech, Mamuna Oladipo and Lola Oyelayo-Pearson sit down to deliver some real talk about the moment you realize your company is never going to give you what you deserve. Whether it’s that long-awaited promotion, a raise, or just recognition, this episode is for anyone who’s heard “just a little longer” one too many times.

We talk about the risk of doing less after doing too much, the trap of being the safety net for poor leadership, and the hard truth: sometimes, the only path forward is out.

This is your reminder that the company will not change—but you can. You don’t owe them over-functioning. You don’t owe them your soul.

📌 In This Episode:

• What to do when you’ve been passed over—again

• The risk of reducing your effort and being labeled underperforming

• Why some promotions will never come, and how to grieve it

• The emotional toll of staying too long

• How to shift your energy from stewing to searching

💡 We made this show for YOU.
