Your boss doesn’t care about your promotion
That’s your job
Here are some things that your boss is there to do:
Make sure you do your job well
Make sure other people do their jobs well
Make your company money
Here is one thing your boss is *not* there to do:
Make sure you are fulfilled, supported, and appreciated as the leader that you are.
BUZZZZ. Nope. Try again. They don’t care about lifting you up. They’re not obligated to be your office fairy godmother. They’re there to get a job done. That’s your job, too, by the way. Instead of angling for validation, show your boss how your promotion can help them get their job done better. Put your focus outward and see how that changes things.
