Feeling so stuck after being passed over for a promotion again!
I work in a company that has lots of small teams looking after clients. Some people will stay within one team for a long time (years) therefore building up a good relationship, others move more often - it’s normally based on where resource is needed. In the last few years I’ve moved teams around 5 times, never of my own choice, and each time I had got a new line manager and team to manage. Each time I move I feel like I start over with establishing myself. Managers are meant to hand over but never do. I actually got put forward for promotion in April but this team didn’t have the income to sign it off, then I got moved
to another team and it’s got lost.
I started job hunting but then fell pregnant, the baby is wanted very much. I’m 25 weeks now. My company has a great maternity package so moving jobs wouldn’t have made financial sense. But each day that goes on and my peers move up and I don’t I just feel so stuck and my confidence is an all time low. I can’t see that my career is ever going to move forward. I’ve voiced this so many times to senior managers but they just can’t seem to make a solution happen, I seem to fall through the cracks.
WWYD? Is there light at the end of the tunnel or is this my life from now on? I’m 33 by the way.
