Promotion = hurt relationships, sour grapes and more unhappiness
True that.
Have not experienced that and the closest I get to it is perhaps during my secondary school symphonic band days when being leaders put you in a tough spot. Guess it simulates work reality too.
Frankly, three of us entered together tho he is one level above the rest of us. I believe the day will come when we will be put together for the inhumane central judging and i wouldn't say i will be totally zen on this.
It boils down to affecting your self-esteem. Ur peers promoting faster than you only means that your capabilities are doubted. That's a reason to be upset, but not on others but upset with yourself.
That's how I will feel and how i think people should feel.
Not going to make myself sound like a saint but we should keep an open mind regardless how hard it is. It's human nature to be jealous but it's how we humans manage it that differentiate each of us. Put it bluntly, those who can't manage their own expectations and jealousy, are just bitches.
Favouritisms are exploited as the perfect excuses to flame someone else for their own feelings of insufficiency, insecurities and lost of pride and dignity. By "their", I meant the sour grapes #justsaying
On a side note, promotion to me is not about the rank, it's about the bonus! 1.5months wohooooo but the pro-rated PB only got me 0.5 of the full sum. #okaylor #betterthannothing
I chose a photo of self-reflection this time because putting aside the bonuses and the power struggles, the promotion exercise is essentially a time for all of us to reflect upon ourselves and improve for the better.

Flavours of Life will be where I document some of those human mysteries I observe in my surroundings which most choose to ignore. It can be extremely interesting to stop, observe and reflect on them because you may be surprised by the sort of enlightenment one can gather from them. It is also here where I seek mental relaxation as it provides me with an escapism from the harsh reality. I will also use this space to immerse in my obsession for entertainment (Well, I can't quite move away from this since it is one of my main source of virtual happiness)
