Need advice on promotion
I joined my current company around 15 months ago as a Senior Product Manager. Over this period, I’ve consistently put in a lot of effort and taken on significant responsibilities. A month ago, during a discussion with my manager and the CPO, they told me they planned to promote me to Group Product Manager. They even mentioned (in an email) that a few people would start reporting to me (along with names) and confirmed that this transition would happen soon.
However, during the latest appraisal cycle (last week), I received a below average appraisal, with no clear explanation . This has left me confused and honestly quite demotivated.
I plan to speak with my manager soon, but I’m trying to understand—what could be going on here? Has anyone faced something similar? How should I approach this conversation?
PS: I don’t work at Gojek.
