I was hired in my current job in a role that aligned with my career (per the job description & posting) only to begin employment and realize the organization really had no idea as to what someone in my profession would do. My direct supervisor was pleasant to work with interpersonally and we tried to work together to resolve it, but that never manifested. I believe it was due to office politics as well as the type of organization it was. Speed to today, my previous supervisor retired while I was out on maternity leave and now leadership has changed in the office, which is to be expected. The issue is I don’t believe the new leaders feel there’s a need for someone with my background and skills and probably would like to either force me into a role that has nothing to do with my career path and:or find a way to let me go. I clearly see the misalignment at this point. However, I also feel like I need to ensure some stability for my family too. What would be your approach?
