PROMOTIONS is a meme frequently seen on 4chan's supposedly "work-safe" boards. It is jokingly suggested that if one's boss were to catch one browsing 4chan at work, and NSFW material is present on the page, that one would get promoted. In reality, of course, if you're browsing 4chan at work, you're probably going to get fired regardless of whether or not you were looking at nipples. In practice, the meme is seen as a cry of "PROMOTIONS!" in response to an NSFW picture, or some similar comment suggesting an improvement in the corporate status of the poster (such as "I just got a company car!"). It is typically accompanied by an image of celebrating white-collar workers or someone in the same pose as the iconic promotion negro (pictured), the image most strongly associated with the meme.
The meme doesn't show up on /tg/ as much as it does on other boards, mainly because /tg/'s moderation is so lax that posting NSFW content is generally perfectly safe from moderator retribution, and as thus isn't as much of a special occurrence as it is elsewhere.
