A few months ago, I had a conversation with my manager about career aspirations and he offered lots of advice and suggestions on what I could do to progress. I came out of it feeling really positive but to date, he hasn’t helped at all. It’s like he doesn’t remember the conversation. And every time I bring it up or suggest something I could take on, it’s almost like he actively takes it away from me. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could navigate this going forward?

Move

Take his previous advice and suggestions and use them independent of him. I had a manager who would promise mobility but it was self-serving …. to keep me from quitting.

Well, I resigned and moved up into another role at another company. And, when researching and interviewing, career mobility was at the top of my list.

This is what I’m struggling with, as he won’t put me on the projects I need to be on to gain the right exposure. I originally moved into this role because I was promised career progression so it’s really frustrating

I'm in a similar situation, I've decided to switch roles, unfortunately you can't do much besides saying to your manager what you just wrote...

For example, I have a title that has the format: date of meeting title of meeting. This is a weekly meeting so every week I have to manually change the date for 30+ slides. Any insights? Thank you!
