Edit: Sorry, I got 60.5, not 50.6!
Hello all,
My situation is like this: I was told by my bosses 3 years ago or so that I may be looking at a promotion within approximately 3 years. Since then I have been doing well at work and have been getting a very good feedback; a year ago I was told I am still among the candidates considered for promotion and the last year has been very good for me professionally (even if not the best one overall for the firm I work for). Earlier this month I have finished a major project for the firm and since then I have been taking slightly more time to relax, rest and enjoy life.
Now the annual review is approaching (promotions are normally decided around late spring) and I have not heard anything from my bosses about my prospects. I also heard (very unverified/remote) rumours that someone else may be promoted instead.
I asked I Ching for guidance and got 60.5 (Restrictions, Foundations) -> 19.
I can see two (not mutually exclusive, mind you) interpretations. I Ching is telling me that this is still not the time to rest on the laurels and that I need to push harder for a while and get more disciplined and that I should acknowledge my own limitations. AND/OR it is telling me that I should actually lay down/demand rules/discipline/foundations from my bosses and go to them and say "Look, I did this and this and this. You told me this and this and this. Tell me what else I need to do to get the promotion". I am inclined to go with the latter (while, obviously, bearing in mind the former), especially given the nature of 19 - it tells of spring, success approaching, being now - but waiting until "the 8th month" will bring misfortune. So the time to act is now (it could also be a literal meaning - spring is now, literally and this is also when promotions are decided, so if I sit and wait the chance will pass me by?).
Happy to hear your thoughts on this one.
