discussion I didn't get promoted & I need to stop crushing on my boss. What happened?

[nostalgia]

 

I didn't get the promotion I was hoping for, and honestly, I feel pretty unmotivated and sad. I've been hitting all my targets and getting great feedback from clients, so this was a real blow. Working in the tech industry is tough right now, and with the job market as tight as it is, I can't just leave, even though I've thought about threatening to quit.

 

To make things more complicated, I kinda have a crush on my boss. He's always been a mentor to me and promised he'd vouch for me, which makes it hard to walk away. I feel like it's time to step up and not rely on him to make my case anymore. The worst part is, he's straight, so this crush is unrealistic, to say the least.

 

I know I need to focus on my career and not let my feelings get in the way, but it's easier said than done. I feel stuck and don't know how to move forward. What would you do in my situation? And seriously, how do you stop having a crush on your boss?

Remember you are easily replaceable in the company. They can fire you and hire someone else anytime.

[Phoenixstar]

And yes, get over that boss fantasy. They never work. 

[Breathe On Moi]

if I tell you the truth I'll get downvoted 

 

so I'll say, keep crushing and keep loving him! one day he will propose to you! 

[GentleEarthquake]

Wdym "what happened?". You think having a crush in your boss had something to do with the fact you didn't get promoted?

[Johnny Jacobs]

 

 

Chile look for another job. When you get one you find suitable,try to ask for what you want in your current one. If they say no, leave. 

 

It will be better for your mental health. Straight crushes literally crushes the soul. 

 

 

Also always remember that if they want to, they will replace you in a sec. Think about yourself. always

Unfortunately this is why you didn't get promoted

This. Maybe try to not work hard since employers usually promote the undeserving ones

Find a job first before you quit

crushes come and go just hang in there .. maybe meet someone new outside work hours so your not thinkin of your boss that

and what everyone said look for a new one on the side and quit once you know you got the new job.
