I have no idea what your current role is but maybe they want to keep you in the producing role since you apparently are very very good at it.
Agree with this. Career goals and comp should be discussed openly with your Manager. It should never be a taboo subject. How often have you shared your career aspirations and expectations with him/her? Especially in companies where advancement opportunities are limited, the onus of expectation-setting will likely fall on you and not your Manager (as sad as that sounds). If you don't clearly articulate your goals and follow up routinely to communicate the steps you've achieved to meet those goals then you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
I know, right?
I worked in a resort restaurant in high school and college. I could handle fry cook duties pretty well. Though splatter could be a deterrent. I like to cook nude.
There's your problem. In a government job and working at a high level. They don't want that rubbing off on the rest of the place.
I had a number of interviews last year and into the spring this year, got a few second interviews, and was offered two jobs (both with significant pay-cuts). It all dried up at the start of summer. Since then I haven't had one interview. It gets frustrating.
I get that. It has happened here. I think I am management material, but this is obviously not upper managements feeling. I basically run the office here, as my direct supervisor is unqualified and overwhelmed. Most of the people here told me I was a shoe-in for the manager position (they could just be buttering my bread, but I think I am respected here). A few were upset that I didn't get an interview. I have trained almost everyone in the office, and also a few people now in upper management. Even got a few of them their first jobs here. I hate it here, maybe that is coming through in my day to day, but I don't think so.
I am an Environmental Health Specialist Senior. That basically translates to: I review stuff. Engineered plans, site plans, disease vector investigations, environmental impact studies, etc.
What are the responsibilities of the position(s) to which you did not get promoted?
Managing a 5 office district. Basically all admin and regulatory interpretation. Essentially what I do now but, with more offices.
Lester Burnham: Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go #### himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
Problem is, I did that last week and all I got got a bunch of funny looks. Oh, and some new vacation time. Called LoA leave. No idea what it stands for but it was glorious.
