Some boss don't want to say cause they scared something might go wrong once the promotion approval goes through the levels of bureaucracy , so they don't want to give you hope unnecessarily just incase.

The bigger problem is alot of people are expecting promotion to be given on a platter nowdays. What happen to the days of actually getting promoted cause you really delivered output and hence are getting rewarded. Nowdays is I join this year, can get promoted next year or not? Don't understand.the mindset.
