I have a job that’s just fine. Gives me the security I need, fairly flexible hours, and none of the work is awful.
That being said my boss has continually promised me job promotion (and raises) over the last two years but instead has given me more work under the guise of “training” to the point that I’m doing the work of at least two people. Most recently I was promised that my job and another coworker’s (who just left the company and I absorbed their duties) would be redistributed so I’d get all of the stuff I like and the new hire would get the boring stuff. Today I was told that’s not happening anymore and I’d essentially keep doing all of the original extra work (not the new extra work) but now with no hope of promotion.
Should I stay and see how things pan out? Should I try and talk to HR about how I’m doing a ton of extra work outside of my job description?
Should I just start looking for something else and risk losing the security?
Or am I literally just being dramatic.
