Wasted life
Been at my job for nearly 20 years. Work in retail. Worked my way up to be a manager of a couple of competitive units. Even relocated for this. Have tried several times to get promotion to the next step area/cluster manager and each time it’s a no. Now an opportunity has come up and they’ve moved a current area/cluster manager there meaning there’s a vacancy about 200 miles away so obviously I cannot apply. The distance for them to the new locale is equal to where they are now and will be so financially it’s still going to cost the business.
The leadership team say they are fond of me and rely on me for a lot of support but I’ll be damned if I ever get promoted. I’m so fed up and can’t move on as I am on legacy pay rates so going to another company would kill me financially. I do look for opportunities.
Just need to vent that I feel useless. Want to start a family and can’t. Want a mortgage but on debt. My life is a joke and I really can’t be bothered anymore.
End rant.
