The deliberate avoidance of a promotion whose meetings, visibility, or management duties outweigh its raise.

The promotiondodge is executed by excelling visibly at the current role and looking slightly stressed when the topic arises. Its practitioners are called "unambitious" while sleeping eight hours. The dodge is a career strategy, not a failure.

Etym. — promotion + dodge — the sidestep performed at the moment of honor.

Rel. — promotiontax
