What to do when promotion promises fall through

 

When I joined my current company, I was promised a promotion to vice-president in the marketing department. Now my boss, who had made the promise, has been sacked and the company is restructuring. There are new projects every few months and people are leaving. The culture here does not encourage open dialogue and there is no way I could talk to management in the foreseeable future. I have only been here for less than a year and it is going to look bad on my CV if I leave now. But staying here for one more month will only add one more month to my misery. Should I stay and be miserable, or should I go and let my CV suffer? StuckInARut
