“Passed on for a promotion after overperforming”

Felt played and demotivated after being passed over for a promotion despite clear data of overperformance

What I wish I knew
"To question the promises made and the reasons for not being promoted earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Set clear boundaries and communicate openly with colleagues and management to avoid resentment and maintain a positive work environment"

Clear regret.
The downsides outweighed what was gained.
