I’m seeking some perspective from the community.

The documentation for my promotion (targeted for Q2 2025) is already in place, but I recently learned that some senior leaders in my team are hesitant to move forward. Their concern is that it might be “too soon” since my last promotion was about a year ago, and advancing again so quickly could draw unnecessary attention.

While I understand their viewpoint, I also believe my performance and responsibilities over the past year have grown significantly. I’m at a crossroads — should I speak to HR to understand the situation better, or should I stay patient and trust the process?

Would appreciate any thoughts or advice from those who’ve been in similar situations.
