Hi all. I started a new role with a company I’ve been with for 2 years. The role is very much an SME role and can be quite boring sometimes. When hired I was told that this role would do a lot of different projects and skys the limit but after 7 months, I’ve been doing 1 project and when asking about role expansion essentially told to stay in my lane. My first thought was performance issues but manager confirmed not that. It’s getting really boring and need more engagement. What should I do?

I would see if there are any opportunities to work on projects within ERG or BRGs, there's also work to be done here! I'd also see if your org has an internal gig board or network, sometimes there are short-term projects that can align to your expertise. Obviously before signing up for any of these get manager approval to do flex time with these projects, who knows they might be excited to hear you're looking for opportunities to stretch / network.

Sometimes when you ask for “more” a manager doesn’t always know what to “give”. I encourage you to pitch ideas on projects and other initiatives you’d like to take on. If your manager does not support this and your ambition, I would ultimately advise to look to move to a company that does. Best of luck

Thank you all for your help! It’s a great company overall but this manager is not the right fit for me. I was recommended into this role by some of execs who I had worked with before in previous roles so I had different expectations for the manager as I heard through the grapevine. Thank you all for your help!!

Have you considered switching?

I started the role 7 months ago and didn’t want to make a bad impression. But am going to start looking into it now.
