In my six-year tenure at the company, I’ve weathered four significant organizational shifts, each time adjusting to a new boss and reestablishing my standing. After advancing to a senior role, I sought and transitioned to a department that resonated more with my career aspirations.
This move, however, brought its own challenges. I encountered two more reorganizations within this new team, each stripping away my responsibilities. Now, I find myself in a role drastically different from anything I originally pursued or excelled in, essentially left to handle the remnants of tasks post-layoffs.
Despite these setbacks, I have maintained a strong presence and rapport with our C-suite and executives, often receiving verbal accolades and recognition for my work. However, these continual organizational changes seem to eclipse these achievements, leading to a sense of frustration and exhaustion. Recently, a job vacancy emerged that closely resembles my ideal role, but indications suggest it’s earmarked for someone else.
This has prompted a moment of reflection on my future at the company, considering the disparity between executive recognition and the actual trajectory of my career path. I'm just tired man…of always taking the high road and trying to stay positive.

TLDR; several org changes also came with new bosses slowing down career growth and now there is another setback and I’m just tired of always trying to stay positive or convince myself to stick around.
