John is a financial consultant working for a large company. He has been working with the company for ten years and has had one promotion in that time. John is frustrated with his company. His friends who work for other companies have been promoted at least twice in the same period. John spends a lot of time ruminating about whether he should move to another company that will better recognize and reward his talents. Invariably though, John decides that it is better to just stay put and drop hints during his annual performance appraisal that he would like to be promoted.
