Spanish term

sucesión

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Slang
This is from an employee survey from an Energy company. Sorry, only responses were given, so not much context or geographic indication.

En la compañía no hay plan de carrera ni de sucesión.

Does this mean "advancement" as in "advancing up the ranks of the company"?

Career path and a promotion path are almost synonymous but not quite: you can have one without the other.

As far as I can make out, a 'plan de carrera' is pretty much pre-established by the employers, whereas a 'plan de sucesión' depends on individual abilities, rather than on seniority or expected promotions. However, though the terms 'succession/career plan' exist in English, they don't seem to be quite the same.

Are these workers living in the US? Do you know what their background is, or in lieu of that, what state they are in, assuming, of course, they are in the US?

Thanks, Mike
