He didn’t realise that he could just ask. And being a good boy he didn’t want to appear pushy.
Quark went ahead and filed that complaint about his anti-Ferengi remarks just before Voyager went MIA. Janeway takes bigotry very seriously.
Funny cos I had a theory that Janeway was actually a bit MAGA and thought he was Mexican.
She can tolerate anything except bigots and Mexicans.
He didn’t commit enough war crimes (lacks leadership mindset)
Simply not enough pips on board the ship.
She likes to save those replicator rations for important things. Like coffee.
Sometimes you have an employee that is so good at their job you never want to replace them
Garrett Wang repeatedly turned down Rick Berman’s sexual advances
No one under him is qualified for bridge crew. Every single person not named in the credits on Voyager is completely incompetent. Promote Kim and you have to promote crewman Bushnell who thinks Warp drive opens a portal to hell everytime, smells awful and calls all women “females”.
He must have learned warp theory from lt. broccoli
Every time you die, or are replaced by something like an alternate universe duplicate, your seniority resets
If you promote him then he’s just going to take the title and leave for more money.
Janeway actually did try to promote him, but he overslept and missed the promotion ceremony.
DEI was banned so only white dudes, and people who banged the captain, got promoted.
Putting Tuvok’s promotion in a whole new light
He had more romantic chemistry with Seven than Janeway was willing to tolerate.
“You fucked my pet Borg you little shit”
He put cream into the Captain’s coffee once and she never forgave him.
COFFEE. BLACK.
Pips can’t be replicated and Voyager only had a limited supply of spares. Janeway set aside the only spare pip for the bridge crew for Tuvok’s eventual promotion.
