Lately, absolutely. There's not been a lot of hiring and not many openings available, particularly in our area, so as I'm getting near the point where I'm thinking about something new...there's not much new!

I see. Thank you for the feedback!

I'm not in that boat currently, but I have been there. At a previous job I began to feel like there was just no road ahead of me. My patience eventually reached an end and I made an effort to move on. What I realized is that sometimes there's just no openings for you to move to. And there can also be a problem where people just see you as belonging in the position you're currently in, so you're essentially pigeonholed.

Thanks for sharing!

I have been feeling that way lately because there is no role above where I am now that wouldn't require someone to leave or retire and neither of those two things are going to happen soon. I have been looking for something else but that hasn't turned up much either.

Thank you for the feedback!
