Although we have had our moments, my relationship with my boss is generally alright. I do well in my job and my boss makes that clear at my performance reviews. He knows that I am able to operate at the next level and we have both acknowledged that thinking about moving up is a natural should be on my agenda. BTW, I have been in my current post for 2 years and 2 months. Promotional opportunities are currently very thin within the organisation but things might change in the next 4-6 months because of likely changes to how the organisation operates.
A few days ago, my boss forwarded me a job advert for a job outside of the organisation. It is a step upwards and definitely in an area that I am strong in (or at least everyone perceives me to be strong in that area). AIBU to be a bit upset that he did this and to think that he isn't/wouldn't actively seek to keep me within the organisation? I feel rather saddened by it all.
I welcome your thoughts. Thanks.
