who works at Neo@ogilvy was complaining that she’s been there for 2 years and still hasn’t gotten a promotion (she’s currently a media planner). I worked with her at a previous job, and people there didn’t exactly think she was promotion material either.

According to her, the problem at Neo@ogilvy is that aside from the fact that their name sounds like something derived from a futuresque droid movie, it takes them too long to promote people. I asked her if she thought she’d get promoted if she stayed longer. “Oh yeah,” she replied without any hesitation.

Impressions are hard to change. Sometimes, if an employer doesn’t think that you’re promotable, you won’t get promoted no matter how long you stay. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that. And I think she loves the name “Ogilvy” too much to leave.
