Growth in a "Flat" organization
I recently approached my boss and HR about a promotion/title change and was told we are a flat organization and there are no title changes/promotions available for my role. There are no roles for me to grow into either, I report to the C suite. Do I have any options other than finding something outside of the company?
HR suggested I find activities outside of work such as volunteering or a hobby to help me feel more fulfilled. I have plenty of fulfillment outside the office, after 5 years I am looking for a better title and more money!
