A READER SHARES HIS PERSPECTIVE ON PROMOTIONS

From time to time, I will share reader feedback with you. Here’s a comment that was posted by a reader named Mitch. Here are some of his thoughts regarding promotions:

"One of the realities in today's workplace is that almost no one gets promoted anymore by staying quiet about their accomplishments. Work these days is at more of a fast pace than in the past, which means it's harder for many managers to keep up with who does what. So, yes, everyone, including black workers, have to get used to figuring out ways to promote themselves so that it's informative, without bragging. And that, my friend, is the balance game that most people aren't apt to learn well."
