Does anyone actually get promoted for their work, or is it always about who you know?

Way back when I was still an employee, I got a "promotion" because my manager didn't want to do payroll for one member of the team.
It was already 16 months into the position when I was told "you were right and should've been punching a clock all along. I hope you didn't work any OT."
Your job title had been updated to _ and you can enter your PTO in Workday now.
In SR because of the limited budget in the SW CoE, promotions go to whoever is the most overdue, whether based on performance or for some "aging" into it. Basically only when it seems like you're an imminent flight risk and are reasonably valuable or well liked enough to care about that
You’re smart enough to know who gets promoted and who doesn’t. This created a mushroom shaped org structure that EM will level out.
Performance (10%), Image (30%), and Exposure (60%) are key to career advancement. Mentorship also helps.
From what I have seen it is mostly about the boxes you check!
It's about as fair as everything else around here.
Visibility (oftentimes via ppt) and networking with management appear more than actual performance. So the people who does actual work will be stuck while they are usually the people provide info input to those fancy PowerPoint.. lol.
A promotion to what? a prinical Azz=Kisser fast way up the ladder I heard.
@OP I've heard it's about visibility and who you know
It's usually about how long you've been on a team.
