1. Make the bosses coffee every morning. 2. Get along with all of your co-workers and business associates.

Always and never... Always do more than is expected of you Never complain about your co-workers

Sleep with your boss.....j/k lol no just work hard at what you do... good things will come your way(wow i sound like a fortune cookie) lol

Not being capable to do the lesser job and by buying the managers beer in the local pub.

The easiest way to do it is to make your boss look good by doing your job well so his department excels and he/she gets a promotion. The second easiest way is to NOT be the only person who can do your job. Do it well, but don't be irreplaceable. Once you are not replaceable you'll never go anywhere.

At my job(s) there is no way to get a promotion. I own and operate two small businesses from my home and I am the only person in both companies ... so, there is no one above me, there is no one below me, and there is only the one position.

Be a young, blonde female.

Work harder then your coworkers and be friendlier then your coworkers. :P

As you already know, promotions don’t just happen. And while it’s nice to think that hard work and a positive attitude are tickets to the fast track, think again. But getting a promotion isn’t as mysterious and difficult as most people think. Hard work alone won’t get you noticed, but hard work and a mohawk will. 1. Master Your Current Job No one promotes a person who’s mishandling his or her current position. How can anyone expect you to leap from an exploding locomotive into a vat of burning oil when you can’t even take a swift kick in the groin? You need the confidence, authority, and nuance of a veteran, and that means mastering the A-to-Zs of your junior stuntman position, from ‘Accepting Pain’ to ‘Zipping Up Your Flame-Retardant Jumpsuit.’ 2. Be Patient Some employees don’t stay with a company long enough to receive advancement. Factors such as long-term disability, hideous disfigurement, accidental dismemberment, and major helicopter malfunction are often out of your control, but getting the promotion of your dreams won’t happen if you willingly quit your job. Sometimes, the biggest obstacle you face in the deadly minefields of your high-octane career is yourself. Hang in there. Seniority is often earned simply because the guy above you lost the ability to walk after his ejector seat failed to activate in time. Sit tight and keep your eye on the prize…your time will come. http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/how_to/the_nonexpert_how_to_get_promoted.php

Go to work everyday and work your butt off.

Finally go to human resourses and report the years of harrassment you have endured from your micro managing boss. Oh and don't forget to tell them all the times he said un appropriate things like calling you a fag or saying your wife has big tits.

Become a whore

Stand out - go above and beyond what is required of your job. Have a POSITIVE attitude towards everything you do. Be an innovator - come up with new ideas to do things. Be a role model. Never talk negatively about coworkers or the company with any other employee. Be highly ethical, trustworthy and dependable. There is 5.... :)

Kiss butt and date the boss's son/daughter.

It never hurts to do a bit of brown-nosing to your manager! Its also very important to act like youre really 'into' your job - and when asked to do anything, respond as if you dont mind lol!

Work hard and mind your own business. So I've heard, at least. My employer knows better than to even think about offering me a promotion.

Sleep w/ your boss Blackmail your boss...Bam!

Always be on time. Be ready to put in extra time and effort Do your job better than anyone else could. Be smart and pleasant.

If you really want that promotion: Work harder than 90% of your co-workers Be nicer than 90% of your co-workers Dress sharper than 90% of your co-workers [sucks but this will definitely fast-track you] Don't bad-mouth ANYONE, EVER Solve problems, don't cause them Be a team player, but stand up for yourself when it's important Imagine a version of yourself who's been promoted already, and behave like that person

Be the owners son, or marry the bosses daughter!
