What exactly do you do when you're looking for growth within your agency, but there are no senior roles open? I really love the team I work with, but I can't continue to be in this phase for as long as I've been.

You start applying and interviewing elsewhere.

You also have a frank convo with your direct manager and their manager. You ask them what do I need to do to get promoted. What additional responsibilities I need to do and learn and what additional skills I need to learn.

What is my path to growth?

Start looking and applying now.

I am in a similar situation. Thank you for asking this.

You can always try to get the person above you fired/to leave and take their place. Some people are very good at it.

Time to look for a new agency

The harsh reality is no business bends to your wishes. They couldn’t care less if you personally don’t feel like there’s growth. You get paid (and so does the person above you) to do what they need now, and hopefully they get some extra value (ie you are doing 40% more than your job title). It took me half my career for this to actually sink in. Being angry and constantly stressing about this does no one any good. We are architects of our own career - either do so well you expand the scope of the agency (thereby necessitating new roles), leave for another job who has them, or start your own thing. Best of luck honestly.

If you were to trade Joe Burrow for a single RB or a single WR, who do you think would be a fair trade?

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.
