Have my 6 month review coming up - how do I politely speak to my mind to my bosses about role not being what it was advertised as? Pretty much just moving things around on PowerPoint for meeting preparation (have prior experience leading client meetings, but have yet to even have the opportunity to sit in on one at new firm). No matter how hard I push for on the job learning opportunities, they have been negligible. Is it better to be blunt vs quiet quitting or actually quitting?

A six month review is not only for the employer but also for the employee. If I were you I would construct a very professional itemized list of the things that you are happy with and the things that you would like to see improved. If you have a copy of the job description that was provided when you were hired I would take that with you and I would also use that as your itemized list of things that you would like to see improved. I would also provide a timeline for those improvements as you see them. Having been in leadership and trying to grow a firm, sometimes they can’t see the forest for the trees. You need to point out to them the reason that you took the job in the first place and the reasons that they picked you within the job description that they provided. At the end of your portion of the review ask them if that job description, and or their needs have changed. if they have changed discuss next steps.

1. Quiet quitting is just working, but in this line of work that hurts you, not them.
2. Never quit without the next bullet chambered.
3. Apply elsewhere, and when you have an offer leverage it.
4. If they don't blink when you explain that you'll leave if they don't deliver, then leave.

Which insurance bd are you at?

I would tactfully ask why am I being excluded or have been assigned other tasks. On another note, have you sought the advice of a trusted and candid colleague? I’m asking because I’d first want to learn if I have any blind spots as to why I’m missing opportunities I was hired to accomplish. The person you report to could also be a micromanager in that they do not know how to include others in tasks they were primarily assigned to do.

My approach to being an employee is to have clear communications, objectives, and responsibilities agreed upon with my manager. Sounds like you have none of these. I would normally echo what Prudential says, but I think you already know the answer. The fact that your boss is about to hire his spouse would be the nail in the coffin for me. I would focus on your new job, which is to find a new job. They've not been honest with you and appear to not care about it.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less.

Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
