Anyone have this experience. My former coworker and friend said he had an interview. The hiring manager saw that he work Wells Fargo Bank for many years. The hiring manager said "I don't think you will be a fit for our culture because you worked at Wells Fargo." My friend said he was at a lost for words.

Is it awkward to bring up a promotion timeline months after your boss first mentioned it? Earlier this year, my boss said there was a path for me to get promoted, but I didn’t really follow up on timing at the time. Now a few months have passed, and I’m wondering if it’s weird to bring it up in a 1-on-1 or if that’s exactly what I should be doing. I don’t want it to come across as pushy, but I also don’t want to just sit around hoping it happens. How would you bring it up?
