My copy manager recently gave 2 wks notice and since then I've taken on that role in addition to mine for about a month (telling our EVP I would like to move into the position). My most recent chat w said EVP has made it clear I'm not considered a viable candidate. My question: once I state I will cover the additional tasks for an another week and no more, can the corporate overlords press me to continue in both roles or am I within my rights to refuse?

So you're viable to do the job in the meantime, but you're apparently not viable to be compensated with the pay and title for doing the job? Yeah I'd be looking for a new job. These people are happy to lean on your talents and skills when it suits them, but they don't respect or value you. This is the worst kind of employer.

Did you get feedback as to why you’re not being considered?

TBH I would start looking for another job.

I’m backfilling for two departures in addition to my own role and it’s become clear the org is quite comfortable with things as is. I can’t wait to leave.

Should I hold out for the offer or is 1+ week a sign that I won’t be selected?

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?
