Expected promotion not received

Promotion to Director was given to someone else, despite being promised and supported by previous and current VP.

What I wish I knew
"VP had plans to change department structure without discussing with me."
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate clearly and regularly with your superiors about your career goals and expectations."
