Tips For Building An Exit Strategy

Back in February of 2022 my supervisor told me they were leaving, after 20 years with the company.

It took upper management a month to get around to advertise the position, and another three months to interview candidates.

Back in February of 2022 my supervisor told me they were leaving, after 20 years with the company. I was sad to see them go but as their second in command I was excited to interview to fill their vacancy. It took upper management a month to get around to advertise the position, and another three months to interview candidates. During this time I was expected to lead the team without a title change or a pay raise. I interviewed, and no one was hired to fill the slot 'cause none of the applicants had any supervisor experience. Company stopped looking for a supervisor and instead shuffled things around. I got a small raise and a title change but no real supervisor authority. Now, a full year later, a year of my putting my best foot forward, increasing efficiency and exceeding expectations the company is thinking for soliciting for a supervisor again. I chatted with the folks in upper management about interviewing again with a full year of supervisor experience under my belt and was told “we really want to bring in some new blood.” So I'm gathering my things and looking for a way out. If anyone has any tips for this sort of situation I'd appreciate it.
