When I was Staff, Manager told me that perhaps I should consider another career path straight up. Shrugged it off and just got promoted.

I'm glad someone came in here and cleaned up most of the slurs that were being thrown around, but I am disappointed to know that I call any of the perpetrators "peers", "colleagues", or, sadly, "superiors." AM1 you're supposed to be a leader by sheer positional authority. Do better.

Is there any point in having an interview with a company you don't really want to work for? I've been applying to a lot of jobs lately and I'm starting to get some responses, but after looking more into these places, I don't want to work for them. Good practice for the interviews that matter or a waste of time?

Trying to apply for another position at the same company but my boss told me explicitly that if they find out people on our team are looking for other jobs, they will stop giving that person raises, promotions, bonuses, & access to opportunities. I have spoken with the hiring manager for the new position and he just asked me if I have notified my current manager. Not sure how to navigate this tricky situation. Was hoping to interview before having to tell my manager that I am applying. Ideas?
