I work for a very small company where I am literally the bedrock and linchpin for any growth. I came with the expressed intention of being the production manager once I have trained enough personnel to adequately replace my production. Its been nearly a year and my best candidates have left the company due to operational ineptitude. My own position as production manager was even taken by the guy I literally replaced; because he couldn't generate enough work my production team. He was replaced by someone significantly better I must admit. That does not however negate the fact that I no longer have any upward mobility and the guy that replaced me is now my boss and is significantly under qualified to help me or advise me or supervise me in any way.
The point I'm trying to make is; I'm probably going to resign.I don't see the point in growing a company that disregards my opinions and ideas, and then reluctantly accepts them when their initial plans fail. While simultaneously promoting their twice failed favorite who has literally drawn the personal ire of literally everyone in the company. I'm tired, I did my best I guess.
