They Tried to Stop My Promotion — But I Refused to Be Held Back
My name is Salome. I work with a leading insurance company in Upper Hill, Nairobi. From the moment I joined as a junior officer, I dedicated myself fully to my work. I believed that with enough effort, growth would come naturally.
But something wasn’t right.
Every time I was shortlisted for a promotion, things would fall apart at the last minute. I’d go through the interviews, receive positive remarks, even be told I was among the top candidates. But the final decision always went to someone else. The explanations were vague — one time they said they were looking for a different profile, another time they said the timing wasn’t ideal. It felt like the goalposts kept shifting.
