How To Get Promoted

We go from CAPTCHA conspiracies and AI slop on LinkedIn to the deeper problem of algorithm-driven feeds that ignore human boundaries and fry our attention. Then we get practical and a little spicy about corporate promotions, career leverage, and why you have to say what you want out loud if you expect anyone to help you get there. • CAPTCHA as hidden training data and what modern image prompts imply • Why LinkedIn feels worse after AI and why scrolling is not neutral • Community-based feeds versus algorithm-driven feeds and why boundaries matter • Heat exhaustion recap, hydration basics, and why electrolytes matter • Air conditioning reality, maintenance plans, and what “they don’t make them like they used to” gets right • The mismatch between personal sustainability guilt and corporate-scale impact • Promotion mechanics: approval chains, HR rubrics, budget cycles, and doing the next-level job • Asking for a promotion directly and making career intent explicit • Manager mindset: helping people grow even if it means leaving, recommendations, boomerang careers • Hard truths: you’re replaceable, most coworkers aren’t smarter, and seniority is mostly context • Timing advice: why pushing for a promotion too early can backfire • Creating a role by owning a real gap and earning the title through demand If you have more, jump into our Discord by clicking the link down in the description.
