I've experienced this a couple of times while in corporate America. Both times I was the most experienced, resourceful and knowledgeable person. I... ultimately resigned from both companies only after leveraging myself for much better opportunities. I resigned, became self-employed with no regrets. I often see so.... many people fall into the trap of making work personal, when in fact it's simply business. The best thing you can do for your future is to get clear about what you want—and then go after the skills and knowledge to support that vision. Whether it's through hands-on experience, or platforms like Coursera, never stop investing in your growth. The right knowledge is power, and it's also freedom.  more

One thing is to get employed another is to be promised.what if yo employer was using you and planned for your promotion and then you didn't meet his... requirements.stay calm work, whatever you earn is for you and your family.promotions can't get exhausted  more

I feel it is better to wait and watch. Don't make any decision in haste.

This reaction - unless I can "decide" how this department is run, I don't want to play - illustrates your (lack of) maturity well. Not meaning it in a... mean way (of course losing something you wanted hurts), but being a team lead is MUCH MORE than being able to execute YOUR vision and make decisions that fit YOUR narrative. Use it as a learning experience. Assume you've got what it takes when it comes to work ethic, tenacity, factual knowledge, courage; now learn how you'd need to grow as a Person to be someone both your managers as well as your future employees would trust, admire and want to to back.  more

Some things companies do are actually demoralizing, you go out of your way, do your ultimate best set new department it's now rolling then someone... upwards decides to bring in someone else don't you think that's using someone and dumping this would been an upward mobility for in-house person who could have amplified moral to the others in the company me thinks.  more

It's better to have a working viable plan before planning your departure, I know from experience

No need to quit. Its the company to decide who to lead the department. You need to learn from each other

Andy, I get your frustration, but this could be a powerful turning point for you. Instead of stepping away, consider staying to learn from your new... manager’s experience—it could fast-track your growth and better prepare you for leadership. The path to leading a department isn't always direct, but the wisdom you gain now could position you even stronger in the future.
