Yes my friend... it was time to go 2 years ago... you hit that dead end a LOOOONG time ago.
It’s time to move on. I just left for the same reason. Made 2 attempts for promotion and they had excuses or went with in other directions so I left.
Best to leave, they obviously have no motivation to move your career along or they would have done so by now.
Have you ever asked who you direct report what you need to obtain or accomplish to be picked for a promotion then go out and achieve that goal? I'm my experience those who sit on the sidelines waiting for the promotion to come to them don't even know what the criteria is to be acknowledged above others and don't even know to ask.
I think it's important to have those conversations as Building Engineer 1 suggests. However, keep in mind that it is likely your first level manager who is holding you back.
Look at the landscape of your company culture. "Promote from within" can sometimes be a sign of cronyism instead of a positive thing.
Gonna echo what BE1 said. You need to have the conversation with your boss about your interest in moving up and asking what it takes or what else you need to do to move up. Maybe they are seeing something that you aren't. Just because someone sat in a chair for X years doesn't mean they deserve to be promoted....
First of all, congratulations for staying with the same company for five years! That in of itself is an accomplishment!
The reality of the situation is that the only way you can obtain a raise or promotion is by moving to a new company.
My advice to you is right now is the perfect time to refine your resume and begin interviewing at other companies. When asked why you are leaving your current position respond with something positive, like, you are seeking more responsibilities etc. Best of luck!
Leave
They don't value you, they are happy you do the work, that's all, Best off finding a new position and leaving. Same thing happened to myself.
Yes, not every company wants to see people move forward, sometimes if you’re good at a role they want you to stay in it
Agree to the comments, just one more thing… analyze very well, What could you have done to make your results different? Ask your superiors about this…
YOU ARE A STAPLE FOR THESE GUYS AND THEY HAVE YOU "LOCKED IN".
WHILE YOU DESERVE DESIRED ACTIVITY, GIVE THEM AN ULTIMATUM.
I never threaten.
Time to start looking for a new job. Sounds like your current one is at least stable and secure, which is a good jumping off point for interviewing.
On the two occasions I've moved company (both in the last six years, after being at the same company for fourteen years) my managers have offered more money, title change etc. They could have offered before it hit that point, but only seek to look after you once they know they're losing you.
The good news is, that a lot of companies like to see you've stayed with the same company for a solid period before, so your current five year stint should stand you in good stead.
Good luck!!
Oh, and do not tell your current workplace you are looking for a new job until you have secured one and you're absolutely sure. Also don't tell them where you're moving to. Sometimes companies will block your move out of spite, if they have a commercial relationship with them. Such phone calls are plausibly deniable.
Depends on what your prospects are
Is there frequently turnover? Always the same answer though, keep your resume updated and apply what interests you, best way to get a raise is moving
I am in similar situations right now, and I am figuring it out to leave, I have hid my dead end.No need of providing yourself.
Great engagement on this post!
Moving on doesn't mean starting over. Look for "red flags" of a non-merit based promotion culture; people only get promoted in the group or department they were already in, directors not letting high performers escape, ERG groups that have an outsized influence, etc. Is the workplace "like a family", or even worse an actual family where co-workers are married, siblings, parent/children? All of these are red flags.
Moving on doesn't mean starting over. Make a change while the decision still feels like a positive choice rather than an escape.
