What is the man waiting to hear?

W: Tom, isn’t it about time that you should have heard something about your promotion?(41)It’s been a couple of weeks since the boss first mentioned it to you, hasn’t it?
M: The announcement will be posted on the company notice board after lunch today.(42)I am starting to feel a bit nervous.
W: Yeah, I guess you would. But you know what? Don’t worry too much. I am certain that you will get the position. I mean, realistically speaking, there isn’t anyone in our office who can do the job that you do.(43)
M: You are too kind. Let’s just hope that management feels the same way as you do.
