I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

Midlevel associate here. Was looking to lateral into a certain group, got hired, and then found out I got hired into a different group (I know 😖). I’m not hating it but it’s not what I signed up for. There’s a possibility I can get my foot in to actually switch to the right group but I’d have to take a class cut - down to a 1st year. Worth the $$$ cut (and do what I actually thought I wanted) or just stick it out where I got placed?
