I’ve been at my job for 5 years now. I’ve been a supervisor for 2.5 I’ve been trying to get promoted to AGM for about a year now. My manager constantly bullies me , even though I’m one of the highest performers ( not just saying that it shows in every way from labor to customers to development of squad and so on) they refuse to promote me but won’t fire me, so I just feel stuck. I told them I’m trying to look for other work and would like them for reference.
They pulled me aside ( they always do this) & told me how much they care about my growth & development & it’s “up to them” to make sure I’m valued & whatever, and to ask if I’m staying. but it seems like bull shit? Right? Like I can’t be this stupid.
I just feel used at this point, I make their jobs easier by being so great at mine ( again not just saying this ) but also I’ve been there since I was 21 and it’s about all I know. They made me feel like I would have a career there so I’ve stayed , I have a baby now and my life really depended on the job. They told me if I didn’t go to school ( I’ve tried twice now to leave for college) that I could / would work towards AGM & nothing is happening.I just always get pulled aside and told to “keep working and I’ll get it someday” any advice really is needed because I just feel like they’ve fucked with me for a long time & now it’s too late to do anything else . I just can’t come to terms with the fact I’ve been used for awhile & am afraid of change maybe?
