My beloved boss is getting ousted by a new member of senior leadership and I have no desire to work for the new guy- what do I say in my eventual interviews for a new job on why I’m looking for a new position?

I’ve only been working with this company for 7 months after being unemployed for 11 months after a layoff. Bad pay, bad benefits and now even less reason to stay but I feel like I need to give a reason other than I really don’t want to work for my new boss 😅

I don’t think it’s out of line to say the structure of the role you interviewed under changed

Don't go into detail, and definitely don't say anything that might be considered speaking poorly of another company. I go with the classic "I'm looking for a position with more room for growth."

There are a lot of things you could say, but I wouldn’t overthink it or give too much detail. I’d keep it simple—something like the structure of the company changed and your role no longer aligns with your long-term goals. Or you could say you’re looking for more growth than what your current company can offer.
