As an experienced hire with 7 years in this company with no prospects of ever getting promoted, my only priority is to not get laid off or fired. Anyone else with me?

Ditto OP - SM with no desire to make MD - love what I do and the freedom I have to work on stuff that interests me - MDs don’t get to say no - or so I’ve been told by several that made it only to discover that

SM - great to hear. Not true on MD.

As an MD, you are now an entrepreneur - but you need to be growing your business.

If you are ahead on your numbers, great. If behind, then saying “no” to opportunities given is a poor way to manage your portfolio.

SM - most importantly, if you love what you do - then awesome. No need to change.

I’m with KPMG1 - You won’t win long term. Find a smaller org where you can truly add value and own an offering or a solution. You’ll be invaluable and you’ll enjoy your job more

No companies with upward mobility are hiring?

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet. I knew if I told them, their behavior would be even worse. How would you explain to the kids you’re leaving? I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.
