Is this promotion case defensible?
Before your manager has to argue it in a calibration meeting.
Read my promotion case as the sceptic in the calibration room. Which claims would they challenge, and which pieces of evidence do not actually demonstrate the level I am arguing for? Name the thinnest part honestly. Suggest what evidence would fix it, never new claims I have not made. My case:
Making it yours
- Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
- Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
- If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.
Raises and moves. Promotion cases, reviews, offers, hard conversations and deciding whether to leave.
