Frustrating Org Changes - Advice Appreciated
Currently I'm a MSS L3 in Airport Ops and I've been working on getting a L4. Earlier this year, my team got a new manager and in our early 1:1, we agreed that I'm ready to be promoted and he'd be comfortable after seeing my work for about a month. In our year end last week and after a month, he shared that one I was ready to be promoted but because the team's direction is going to pivot to include change management, I wouldn't get promoted unless I stayed for one year in a change management role. I'm at a loss here because everytime I'm ready to get promoted, the team either gets reorged or pivots.
I think I have four options:
1. Get the growth opportunity with change management and wait another year to get promoted
2. Lateral to a different team with (hopefully) more stability
3. Interview internally for a L4 on a different team
4. Leave American Airlines
I understand the promotion freeze in 2020 and my role changed between 2020 & 2021 to PM from Strategy, which felt like a good career growth opportunity.
