Is it permissible for a person to demand his right to promotion, or does it fall under the prohibition against seeking authority?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a person in a job to ask about a promotion he deserves? Is it permissible for a person in a job to ask for and request a promotion he deserves from his manager, or does this fall under the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding seeking authority?

Answer:
No, this is his right. Promotion is a right for the employee, and he has the right to demand it. This is not authority; this is not authority. This is a job, a work position. Is every employee a ruler? No. The ruler is the one in charge of the country or the people. That is the ruler. The employee is not a ruler. No one says that the employee is a ruler. Yes.
