   Listen to the repeat messages that are being delivered to you time and time again: it’s not this organization’s priority to find you another role. You’ve unfortunately been sold a bunk bill of goods to keep you in the role so they have a warm body. So stop extending courtesies to them that aren’t being returned. Aggressively look for another job and stop resting on this false hope of “what if.” If they wanted to retain you, they’d already be formulating a transition to another team. I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

   OP here. That's exactly it-- I'm more or less a warm body in the role that they will happily move to another "warm body" role when the time comes. I'm not hearing anything along the lines of, "Jim is moving on to another office in six months and we think you're perfect to take over his role after he vacates it." Instead, based on what I've been seeing, the role will go to a political hire (friend or relative), or they'll give it to a long-time staffer who is in deep with management. I had a clue of what was to come at my first-year review when I was told there were a lot of options for me, but the boss did not offer anything specific. I never once heard, "we'd love to see you move here in two years because you're background really suits that position." Nothing like that. It was more along the lines of "there are so many options here from admin to manager level positions." Very vague, uninspiring language.

   Unfortunately no one sees you as a viable candidate for anything at the company. It would be best to accept it and move to a new company.

   Your only value to this specific group is that you fill a role doing job responsibilities that nobody else wants to do. Put on your big girl pants and get yourself out of this environment into another job outside this company that has allowed this kind of behavior. I am not saying that you won’t experience this kind of cliche behavior elsewhere but everyone deserves to be in a job where they feel a valued member of the team. Move on. Good luck

   Unfortunately you are not a priority and the company is not under any obligation to keep you employed.
   You've been there 4 years and it seem as though you expect a lifetime of employment. I'm sorry to say no one seems to be considering that plan for you. I would look else where.

6. AnonymousJanuary 15,2024 at 2:31PM UTC

   sorry you are going through this.

   but go with your gut … do you really want to work with or for someone that is below par? In the end, I don’t think you’ll be happy.

7. AnonymousJanuary 15,2024 at 5:06PM UTC

   I’m sorry this is happening to you. You deserve better than such an unprofessional company going behind your back and doing this. If they have done this once, unfortunately they will do it again.

   Good Luck!

   Things do change. After 4 years there it is not a surprise that changes have happened, the company does not owe you telling you about their plan from 4 years earlier, these days many people don't stay places even a year. Keep looking internally and also externally and if you find something in another company move on.

9. AnonymousJanuary 16,2024 at 1:37PM UTC

   Did you ever speak directly with the HR or company's recruiter? Maybe you manager never mentioned your desire to get a new role within the company. One would think they would prefer to keep you then retrain someone else, unless they are getting paid less.

   This might be hard to hear but maybe it is time to leave especially if they are going to treat you like this.

    I think your best bet is to look outside the organization. A great retirement plan, while nice, is not worth not knowing your future in your organization.

11. GirlBossanova934974January 16,2024 at 1:47PM UTC

    The fact that 2 people were brought on board without any sort of internal notice about the roles, tells me your organization is loaded with office politics and people are just doing their own thing. Anything goes! You have SEVERAL MONTHS to look around for an outside position. I would look at that as a good opportunity. Be on your way out the door ASAP! If you are working for a bank and it appears you do, I would look at other banks in your local area. You have 6-8 months to find the right job for you!

12. Cara GardnerJanuary 16,2024 at 2:39PM UTC

    The retirement plan isn't reason to stay. Plans change all the time. Think about people that had pensions disappear. So, nothing is concrete.

    If you really are set on staying, here is a suggestion for one last try, but otherwise get that resume ready!

    Create for yourself a job description of what you want. Be detailed. Look at descriptions online to help you. Even put the job title. Set up a meeting with your supervisor that said it wouldn't be hard to find a role. Share your interest in the roles that were recently hired and also provide the job description you created and ask if a role can be made for you.

    Sometimessssss companies will make a role for someone. But have the meeting and speak up.

    Even have a list of accomplishments to share. I have done x,y,z and really want to continue to help with the success of this company. Share that you continually look at the job boards, don't see anything so wonder if a role can be created?

    Worse case, they say no but you'll know you at least asked!

    But also... If you get a wishy-washy answer, of a "we'll see". That supervisor isn't going to help you.

    If the supervisor provides a plan such as, they will have a meeting with next higher up/hr, and share the job description to pave a trail for you, then its worth staying.

    Otherwise, writing is on the wall, and it's time to go.

13. Tami CannizzaroJanuary 16,2024 at 5:31PM UTC

    Something similar happened to me early in my career. I wanted to believe that I would stay; I didn't read the signs correctly. Two things: you've actually been given a gift of sorts, in that you know you have a few months before your job is eliminated. That means: Take control of your destiny. Get your resume updated now, as well as your LinkedIn. Make sure it shows your successes, not your job responsibilities. Once you have this done, work your network with a specific request that shares the kind of job you are in search of. In the meantime, stay pleasant at your current job, ready and willing to take on assignments AND interview for opportunities there as well. Wishing you the best of luck as you work towards your next opportunity, either within this company or beyond!

14. Marlene McCormick BrauchleJanuary 17,2024 at 1:28PM UTC

    I would approach the person/department responsible for internal job postings with a curious posture, "I saw that these 2 positions were already filled, yet I didn't see them advertised internally. Can you help me understand... did I miss the call-out, or is there another process that I should know about... because positions LIKE THAT truly interest me and I think that my experience would really benefit our organization."

    Don't assume you're being pushed out ... until you know the details. Always assume benign intent.

    Approaching the department this way paints you in a light that reflects good intentions, a want to stay with the org., and alerts that dep't that you (and others) are aware of any 'on-the-sly' behavior that may OR may not be going on.

    All through this, pray about it. Listen for an answer... Be specific in your prayers. Your plan of staying at this organization may be just that... YOUR plan. When, in reality, your skills, energy, experience, and contributions are actually better used somewhere else... and we can't move forward if we are staying in the same place.

    Reading the book of Esther was transformative for me... Perhaps, dear sister, you were made for JUST THIS TIME.

    Blessings to you,

    ~marlene

15. NPWJanuary 17,2024 at 5:11PM UTC

    You have time to look for employment internally and externally so my advice would be to take advantage of this and make it your priority by doing the following:

    1) speak to your current supervisor and solicit his/her help in helping you find and secure employment elsewhere in the organization. Ask, if they are aware of opportunities that you may not be aware of, or that has not been posted to the company website (due to management meetings, etc.) Because you are already an employee, you should have first dibs on any potential positions before it's posted to the company website.

    2) find another department within the company that you desire to work in and schedulue a meeting with that supervisor.

    3) Talk to HR to find out the process and steps to make sure you comply and do not do anything to offend but I think the above recommendations should be suffice.

    Whatever you do, try to utilize the time and resources to your advantage. I hopes this information helps you and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

16. Farah BajwaJanuary 17,2024 at 7:08PM UTC

    I'm personally touchy about the word "career" in this case :) Your career is the broader aspect of your professional journey. What we're talking about here is a job. I understand caring about a company (and a job) - I thought id stay with my first employer forever! At 9.5years, right before I was to be vetted, they laid me off. Walked in to work and was walked to HR with my manager. I was crushed. But companies are what they are, and this is when I realized I was doing the job of 3 people and underpaid $15k. Ask yourself, if they're doing this to you and you sense the company is turning "clicky", do you really want to stay with them?? Do you think they will honor your value?No one will look out for you, your dignity, your success more than you. Sure you can advocate for yourself within the company, but also in the meantime make sure you've kept your options open. Being unemployed can be scary but you have time to prepare. Start your job hunt - update your resume and cover letter and get it out there! Connect with potential employers, post on linkedin that you're "open to work" , call up recruiters so that they have your info on file.

17. AnonymousJanuary 18,2024 at 1:56AM UTC

    You should have a backup plan. Start job searching/applying to other jobs at other companies, unless you want to be on unemployment (and i'm not saying that sarcastically tho i know it might sound like it online... some people really do like to be on unemployment for the free money, even tho that is illegal technically).

18. AnonymousJanuary 19,2024 at 3:17AM UTC

    Unemployment is not free money. Most would rather work for full pay than collect unemployment which barely covers a loaf of bread.

    I’m a big fan of the boomerang situation. Leave and come back. That will raise your salary the fastest. Loyalty seems to be a concern for you: yours and theirs. Lower your expectations in the loyalty department and the disappointment goes away.

    It doesn't do you any good to heve sympathy for you having been "had".

    That compsny is not ethical (that's being generous). I have nothing to add to the probably good advice you have receiced from others here but I have learned something to look out for and warn others about. Thank you for sharing.

21. AnonymousMarch 8,2024 at 2:59PM UTC

    Original poster here. Thank you for all of the feedback on this situation. I've dusted off my resume and have started applying for jobs, even contractor roles. In the meantime, my supervisor moved around and appointed a few people. I asked about the status of the new openings and was given a vague, "we'll see" response. This all told me they're free to do whatever they what and help out their favorite employees while staffers like me have to wait a year or years to be moved into new role. Time to get out.
