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?

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job.

Do I just make something else up entirely?

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

TELUS culture is one of the strongest aspects of Telus.

Telus is one of the most friendly and encouraging companies to work for. Telus doesn't layoff unless it has too (Telus will place you elsewhere instead). Telus is one of those workplaces that people stay for decades and refer their families and friends. You will not be disappointed at Telus if positive work environment is important to you.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?
