I’ve worked for my organisation for 20 years and climbed up through the ranks. I am a Careers Advisor.
since my last role, I have done 2 degrees, taken on extra work and done my managers job. She then got promoted and encouraged me to apply for her role and 3 others in the service. I didn’t get any of them after doing all this extra work. Am I being unreasonable by handing all my ‘extra’ responsibilities back?
There is also talk of redundancy in 2 years (local government reorganisation) but the feedback is I’m jumping too high. I’m wondering if my redundancy pay would be too high compared to someone new.
I want to eventually leave and become a Careers freelance consultant but as I’m in the middle of a mortgage, young child and bills, this dream makes me worry about finances.
