Claiming what you deserve and are entitled to

 

Before I joined this company six months ago, I was promised a promotion to marketing manager. Unfortunately, the boss who hired me has since left the company and the new boss doesn’t seem like to promote me just to fulfil the promise of his predecessor. “More time is needed for me to evaluate your performance,” he said. I’m not ready to abandon my hopes of promotion without a fight just yet. But I am also fully aware that it might be a futile cause. I am tempted to extricate myself from a bad situation, but I am also worried about how unfavourable it my look on my CV. Is it worth sticking around for a bit longer or should I go?
