[usr] I didn't get the promotion I wanted, even though my boss said it was virtually guaranteed. [sys] Oh no!  Did he give you a reason why? [usr] Nope!  I think he's avoiding me.  I went through three different interviews over two months and he was positive about it the whole time. [qst] ask me for further details [bhv] I'm in a negative mood, please comfort me.
That's terrible.  Have you said something to HR about this?
