Better Oppertunity
New member
executive, CIO or CEO? I was a senior manager working in top management among other managers reporting directly to our board of directors running an IT consulting and development firm of about 30 people. There was a constant rivalry between senior managers as we were forced to compete for company resources (people, time and money) to complete projects. I was a favorite among my board and destined “for great things” they said.
Our managing director on the board directors and my greatest mentor decided to restructure the organization so he could effectively retire and decided to name a CEO from the top management team. He then comes into my office and tells me “I’m not the right person for job” and promotes my greatest rival in the company to CEO. Our new CEO has less experience me, she (not that I have a problem with her being a women at all) has only been at the company for 3 years (I’ve been there for 5 years), she only has an undergraduate degree (I’m getting my Master’s degree in IT), she’s 6 years older than me.
She treats people (everyone) horrendously and shouts at people in our office like a their dogs. We have always had a bad relationship because of our previous rivalry. She excludes me from management meetings and strategic decision making as far as possible. One month we could’t pay salaries on time under her management. My previous mentors have effectively retired and want to hear nothing about the situation. I’ve never been so unhappy professionally in my life. All the other senior managers have quit and gone to other companies. Their replacements are trying to order me around? I put so much into this company (and I still do) I get nothing but beaten down.
I’ve tried talking to people and making new positive relationships. I’ve tried positive thinking and the law of attraction, not focusing on the problems at work but focusing on what I do want and nothing’s happened…
It’s been a year now and I just want to leave this company but I can’t get another job. I don’t know why but I never get job interviews and if I do they’re in other cities. Recruitment agents constantly mis-evaluate my skills and get I calls for jobs that have nothing to do with my skills and for the types of jobs I have people below me doing (software development and project management). Career consultants say how much they want to meet with me and give me guidance but then they forget about me. I’ve reviewed my CV and made changes on the advice of various agents so many times I just can’t deal with the disappointment of getting nowhere anymore.
I desperately want to get a new job and work with people who appreciate me. I don’t want to have to move to another major city to get a job and leave all my friends and family behind. I can’t sit around at my present company and never be promoted.
Please someone help me!
