Another guy who is a great worker and keeps his head down and doesn't really take much initiative, started the same day as me and was promoted. Someone that started a month after me was also promoted.

My manager also told me that I was his first choice to promote. I did tell him I would appreciate if he were more consistent with what he tells me. None of this makes sense except political reasons.

At my last review, they told me they wanted to see me be more technical to move to the next level, which I have demonstrated. I've written some of our most used tools and also tackled very technical issues. My manager doesn't even know how to review and approve my pull requests. We hired a level 2 engineer a few months ago from client services and I had to teach him SQL and teach him how to read stack traces. I brought this up in a 1 on 1 and asked how I wasn't technical enough if I was the one training more senior engineers.

None of it makes sense to me. I do realize maybe I rocked the boat too much, but I feel torn between standing up for myself and also keeping my head down and taking the beating just to play the game.
