Passed over for promotion unfairly.. 100% qualified for a position, already doing the job. Have...

Another aspect of this is, if you are already doing the job, they don't HAVE to promote you to get their money's worth.

Upon reflection, if you've already been passed over more than once after being promised (but listen carefully to those promises because they may just be shining you on) there's more reason than a relative.

Loyalty only works long term if it's reciprocal. You don't have to jump on another job now. Start looking seriously.

Maybe it's because you're a woman. Maybe you irritate a decision maker. There's something under the surface.

You're still young. I'd stay quiet for now but I would start hunting around for other opportunities with a commiserate salary and room for growth. If you're performing, and can prove it, that's attractive to an employer. And if they question why you're leaving, you've got a good response. No need to slam past employers. But saying you felt you were being underutilized, and inhibited in your growth potential, aren't exactly negatives for a prospective employer.

When I moved into private sector work I was amazed that everybody seemed to be applying for better jobs constantly and these were people who hadn't been rubber dicked by the company ( you know where I'm going...) If it pays well stick with it until you find something that pays better but get looking!

My advice is to firm up your resume and start looking for a company that appreciates and is willing to reward what you have to offer them.

Time to start closing those multi-million dollar deals for someone who will share some of it with you !!!

That's just about any company unfortunately. They only want subservient ass kissers, if you show too much ambition/motivation, they're more likely to get rid of you for fear that you'll advance and replace them...

Makes no sense to me why a good candidate,more than capable,should be usurped by a 'chancer' just because they're family.

Life holds no guarantees. Even if they are words said by the boss !
I'd start looking elsewhere.

Do you know about how long you’ll have to wait before they either give you it or screw you again?

How many nephews does the President have? If it's a huge company, There should be plenty of positions for his/her cousin, that does not conflict with your career path.

Trust me.. its time to move on. Find a job that offers you the same pay, more satisfaction and the chance to grow. These types will never give you what you want. It’s just a fact. Move on and be happy

Wait though... in your own words 'rockstar' and you're asking a bunch of nobodies off the net for advice, it doesn't quite follow

What's with that double-period thing? Maybe they reject you because you don't know how to end a sentence?

Many career paths have a 'momentum' factor, and stalling on a given rung can be a problem. If you are ambitious, consider that as well.

That's hard. I THINK I would stay and dazzle their socks off but make it no secret I am interviewing elsewhere.
