This has nothing to do with weight loss but is a major source of stress for me today so I have to vent. Here is the only place I have for that.
Let me try to explain what’s eating at me so that it doesn’t violate any confidentiality I might have with my work. I was hired a year ago as a temporary replacement for someone, then I was good enough that I became a permanent employee in that position. Then, we got laid off.
I got hired on at another location with the same company as a temporary replacement for someone again, then I was good so they put me on full time. Then, a girl quit in another position and they gave me that position as well.
Now, the old location is reopening and the agreement for me working in this current position is that I could go back to the old location when it reopens. They first asked if I wanted to be a purchaser, which is really what I want to do, if they couldn’t get the old purchasers back. They did get one of them back. Then I assumedly was coming back in my old position. Then, they couldn’t get a shipping/receiver manager back, so they called me to ask if I wanted to do it, as it’s a promotion, just not the promotion they had hinted at before, and not the one I’m best qualified for. I said yes because it’s much more $$$ than my old position. They still don’t have a second purchaser, and I don’t know why they won’t let me have that position. Why was I good enough for it 3 weeks ago and now I’m not? Does the old purchaser not respect me enough to feel comfortable working opposite me? The most frustrating part is that the entire time I’ve worked here I’ve felt like I’m just a finger plugging a hole in a dam. Just a body to fill the missing position.
I don’t know whether to bring this up after accepting the lesser position, or to just be resentful and wait my turn. Also, I know I can do this job well, but I hesitate to be so good at it that they wouldn’t want to replace me in order to move up to purchaser when the opportunity arises. I don’t know what to do.

work issues is my middle name... I am stuck at a job right now that refuses to promote me. There has been a whole bunch of junk prior to that but basically my manager just doesnt want to give me the opportunity. I know the situation is frustrating, and I honestly think the best thing to do is to ask for a meeting with your supervisor or HR or whoever you would talk to about it. Explain how you feel and ask for an honest answer. I know it is the most awkward thing in the world...but if they don't feel you are ready, then they don't and then at least you know what you can work on. But they owe you at least an explanation...and Im not saying, go in there and be rude and throw a fit. Just ask calmly and if there is anything you can do to get to the position you really want to be in. They are a business and understand that you need to make money. So accepting a position that pays more is an acceptable answer. I think expressing your feelings is important. Everyone is entitled to know how they are performing and are entitled to a review. I say just push through and ask for a meeting no matter how awkward it might be. Good luck babe!

I say bring it up. Heres the thing about employers: they aren't psychic. The only way to get whqt you want is to ask for what you want. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. You can phrase it in a way that makes you appear grateful while also expressing your desires. Something like "I really appreciate the position I have been offered and will be happy to fulfill my duties if the company deems it is the best position for me. However, I feel my experience makes me more qualified for the other position that we had previously discussed and I was looking forward to filling that position. I am wondering whether there may still be a possibility of moving me to a permanent position in this role either now or in the future.". And during this conversation you could bring up your willingness to fulfill any role which has been proven by your history and your loyalty and how you would like to feel that your position is more secure and also in. Line with what you want to do. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having this conversation. A good manager will appreciate your openness.

The biggest thing that struck me in your post above was "I know I can do this job well, but I hesitate to be so good at it that they wouldn’t want to replace me in order to move up to purchaser when the opportunity arises." I agree with Kate's advice, as being open with your supervisor is usually appreciated and perhaps they aren't aware of your career goals. But I would always, always suggest giving every job 110% no matter if you are a burger flipper or a CEO... always do your best. It pays off sooo much in the end. Don't allow yourself to be sub-par at what you do, or lower than what your actual abilities are. You are doing yourself a disservice and you wouldn't want people to think that is how you normally operate. Give it all you got, and even though some things take time, your hard work will not go unnoticed. From personal experience, I take on roles that I know might be a challenge, overly demanding and underpaid. I give it every ounce of my focus and perfect it. Typically 1-2 years later, they promote me. This has happened nearly a dozen times in the last 11 years... no matter how crappy a role was at the time. It was a stepping stone. Go get em!
