    You guys are playing it wrong. You don’t larpmax in general, you do it to hit specific targets.

    The person who decides my promotions follows me on LinkedIn. I never really see her except at the Christmas party etc, so the only way to influence her directly is through getting in her feed. If she regularly sees how great I am, that establishes the thought in her mind, so when she is then asked to promote me by other people, she’ll think it’s a good idea.

      Is this for real? If so, that's a major institutional and managerial failing.

        It is, and sometimes you can use those failings to your personal advantage.
