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
If you promote him then he’s just going to take the title and leave for more money.
He had more romantic chemistry with Seven than Janeway was willing to tolerate.
“You fucked my pet Borg you little shit”
DEI was banned so only white dudes, and people who banged the captain, got promoted.
Putting Tuvok’s promotion in a whole new light
They needed to keep at least ONE ensign around, and all the others got promoted or died.
Tom told Janeway it’d be funny if the EMH out ranked him while giving her a fresh pot of coffee.
He secretly works for Starfleet’s Internal Affairs and uses his position to spy on Janeway et al.
Its the Star Trek we need.
More likely he’s one of those temporal cops. He brainwashed Janeway to downplay the causality problems from the final season because he couldn’t let her say what really happened.
Janeway actually did try to promote him, but he overslept and missed the promotion ceremony.
