Delphi Room

I am a 43 Years Old male. I am working in my present organization for the last 8 Years. I have been very hardworking, dedicated and have given my best at work. My Boss had been friendly to me, and appreciates me, but off late I understood that, he is only supporting the growth of few in my team, who are just 3 to 4 years in this office but actually is not promoting my growth in this organization. Those you reported to me 4 years back have now overtaken me with my Boss support. I have even expressed my regret to him, but he is playing politics and does favors discrimination. This is very good Organization, but because of my Boss policitics I feel like leaving this Organization, where there is no good growth for me compared to OTHERS. Now I also fear leaving the organization, which offers good benefits for its employees due to one person, who is blocking my growth . What Decision should I take now? I don’t want to fight and be aggressive with him as he is a person with Power and Authority. Please Guide me

On a lighter note talk to your boss asking how you could improve yourself so that you have a career growth. If he says nothing to change, ask him then why there is no promotion etc. for you in an assertive way. No need to become aggressive. Otherwise ask him to shift you to some other department telling that you would like to learn new things. Even if you change the organization, there will be people like him. Appreciate him for his good qualities every time you come across so that in turn he will also recognize your potential. Every individual has some good qualities try to figure out that in your boss and appreciate. We pass on the positive energy to the opposite person through our thoughts and emotions.

It's a tough spot to be in, especially after dedicating years of hard work to your organization. • Try changing team before quitting your job ,talk to your boss about exploring and learning new things • If you haven’t already, consider having a frank but non-confrontational conversation with your boss. Express your desire for growth and ask for feedback on what you can do to advance. • Concentrate on projects or tasks that are highly visible and critical to the company’s success. By doing so, you can demonstrate your value directly to upper management, bypassing your boss’s potential bias. This might even lead to opportunities you hadn't anticipated. • Use this situation as an opportunity to build resilience and adaptability. • Instead of seeing this as purely a negative situation, try to reframe it as a learning experience. What can you learn from this about office politics, leadership, or personal growth? This perspective shift might reduce some of the stress and help you think more clearly about your options. • Give yourself a clear timeline for when you need to make a decision.
