Yep...

With the right CEP, promotion will come, because, the mgt has a responsibility to make sure you can hit your CEP before you retire. If you don't, there can only be 2 reasons:
1. You screwed up.
2. The management screwed up by giving a non-deserving guy the CEP. (And no mgt is going to admit that!)

Therefore, get your CEP upgrades as fast as you can. Then, don't screw up. Maintain a reasonable level of performance, and the promotions will come along the way, no need to worry too much about them.
