There are so many employees in a company that it is impossible for all employees to be promoted, only a few people can be promoted. If you can't compete with others compared with your colleagues, then your chances of promotion are definitely much smaller. Only by constantly striving to surpass colleagues can we be promoted and raised.
Also, your background is not deep enough for others. In this society, many times we still need to use our own contacts. If you have your own contacts in the company, you will have a better chance of promotion.
