Tips on internal promotion when boss doesn’t like me!

3 replies

Newjobinmind · 20/05/2021 06:08

My boss has taken big promotion. He and I are very different, to the point I feel he dislikes me. I find him arrogant and whilst very good at self promotion, not good at the role itself. He is not being supportive in the slightest to get me into his role once he moves. I really feel I would suit the role.

He is very narcissistic and can imagine is saying no one there can match him.

I have a lot of support from others but he is still a key decision maker.

Any advice? I’ve tried being open and asking him and get shut down.

Sounds like my old line manager. No helpful advice though.

Go above him?

I have spoken to others more senior about my interest and they have been very supportive however I’m concerned he will have the most influence here
