Wasn't intentionally trying to chastise him or her...I just don't know if this person rightfully deserves a position of this kind if he/she can't figure out how to create a structure of this type. This is the problem with our industry. That's all! But good luck sir/ma'm I do hope you find the answer you're looking for.

@AM1 the new normal is to google your way to the top. Fake it till you make it. Fail harder. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm not this guy/gal's boss. but I think we've all been in a situation where we needed to ask for help. And if you've never been in that position, you're not challenged enough in whatever you're doing.

☝🏻 @AM1 people shouldn't be chastised for asking when they don't know. I bet OP knows all sorts of other stuff that make for a good Digital Head. (And probably could have done without 'HALP')

AM1, don’t listen to anybody telling you that wasn’t a fair question. This is the craziest post I’ve ever read. If you’re head of digital, it is literally your job to put together big strategy frameworks...that’s not something you should be startled by.

You should start by admitting you’re a fraud and have him hire a real head of digital. You are the problem in this industry.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.
