    thing is Tom was already a LT he was demoted and tossed in the brig for 30 days as punishment so this "Promotion" was the end of his "Prison sentence" - nothing more than that. Harry getting a Promotion is a REAL Promotion and has to be Earned - also maybe Janeway could not give Harry one due to limitations on the ship roles Example: only 2 Lt Jg(Tom, Torres) 1 Lt (maybe the Doctor), 1 Lt. Cdr (Tuvok), 1 CDR (Chakotay) - per Intrepid class Granted the Doctor (if he had a rank) could have been the ENS, Torres as Chief Eng should have become a full Lt. and Harry then should become a LT Jg.

Without intending to, the writers make Janeway look like a commanding officer who was both negligent and careless of the welfare of her crew and their careers. I can imagine that up on his return, Harry was promoted immediately to Lt Commander. Note also that in "Nightingale", Harry seemed ill prepared and inexperienced in command..that AGAIN can be sheeted home to Capt Janeways disinterest and negligence in crew management and training. To my mind Janeway was a failure, closed minded, pigheaded and derelict in her duty.

If you just keep promoting everyone, on a ship that wont' be getting fresh recruits, everyone would eventually be the same rank. So some people have to remain said rank in order to keep the chain of command from getting all messed up.

    rank doesn't seem to be merit-based. Q showed Picard that he wouldn't be captain if he was more cautious. Harry seems to be a good officer, but rarely a leader. put him with Tom and they'll be doing what Tom wants, doing things Tom's way. Harry is privy to senior officer info & perhaps deserves SOME advancement (Picard even managed to make Lieutenant as a coward) but maybe constantly wanting the promotion keeps Harry working his best. meanwhile Tom doesn't chase rank (higher rank=more like his father), so it won't ruin his job performance & might teach responsibility

    If anything this really sticks it to Harry Kim. In first episode of the series Tom gets a field commission 2 lieutenant when Harry is like, I put all that time into Starfleet Academy to see some guy get basically drafted and put above me in rank. Eventually Tom got demoted to Ensign and then a year later got Promoted back to Lieutenant.

    It really was criminal what the writers did to Harry. Think about what happens after they get home. Within a few days starfleet starts debriefing the crew. They would seriously ask Janeway why is Kim was still an ensign. I know the writers didn’t care but in universe it really makes his character seem not that great of an officer.

    When speaking, you would usually address him as "Lieutenant." When writing, you use the correct rank. For example, I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the Army. While on active duty, when addressed, I'd be called "Colonel," but in correspondence it would be "Lieutenant Colonel." (Over the phone as well to erase any confusion since you couldn't see my rank).

    Actually he made Captain. Although it was an alternate timelin. The alternate timeline from the Star Trek: Voyager finale is dated 2404, three years after the events of Star Trek: Picard season 3. In that timeline, Harry Kim had attained the rank of Captain, and commanded the USS Rhode Island on a four-year mission. This four-year mission would be taking place within the timeline of Star Trek: Legacy which would presumably begin in 2402, with Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) in command of the USS Enterperise-G. Although Admiral Janeway changed history to bring back the USS Voyager back to the Alpha Quadrant much earlier, there's no reason that Kim's career progression wouldn't remain intact.
