I’ve worked at this company for just over 10 years now. For the last few I have been doing things outside of my responsibility in hopes that I would get a promotion. I was doing above and beyond what was expected of me until it was expected of me. I spoke to management and asked if I could be put in the position that I was doing. They told me they no longer have that role in the budget so it would be impossible to do so. After that I stopped doing something of those extra things but because it was now expected of me, I was still being asked to do it. Come to a couple weeks ago, they announced they had finally added that position and they gave it to someone else…. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.
I am looking for a new job now, something I should have done long, long ago.
