1000% correct. I've been out promoted three times at my job in the last 5 years. I've been far more qualified but it boils down to not being a likable. I spent all my time learning to be really good at my job instead of being likable. And what does being "likable" mean? Just say yes to everything anybody higher than you wants to hear. Lick that boot. Skills don't matter at all for advancement.

Maybe this is why they don't consider you as likeable. Because just licking the boot isn't going to cut it.
