Is there anyone else out there running into fake jobs that only last 6 months or so & then it turns sour & you’re out of work for the next 6 months?

If you were there for six months, I don’t think it’s a fake job.

It could be. Some company listed a permanent position or temp to hire to woo people in, but let people leave after 6 months.

Yes

This could definitely happen. Some companies will hire you on a contract basis but have no intentions of ever hiring you to work for them permanently. It isn't really a fake job but not a permanent role either. I bet this happened during the pandemic and some companies are just recovering.

Uh no

Yes, that happens more than you’ll think. Or, you get the job but no growth or chance for promotion. It’s really sickening how they waste your time dangling the carrot in your face knowing they’ll never choose you..

The A1s and I are all associates, so I don't even have a chance to give them an official feedback (snapshot at pwc). How to address this issue to my manager and director?

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
