Boss Blocks My Promotion: What Now? 🤔

I've been working at a major bank since early 2022, taking a job far below my qualifications just to get my foot in the door after moving to a new country. I worked hard, got noticed, and finally, a VP from another department offered me a role that matched my skills—a real promotion! He said it was mine, just a matter of time. But today, I found out my own boss blocked the transfer. He praised my work but said he wanted me to stay, even though he has no similar opportunities for me right now. The worst part? All these decisions were made behind my back, and I was left in the dark about my own career. Now I’m stuck—do I confront my boss, or just quietly look for a new job? How do I keep working with someone who’s holding me back? I’m honestly at a loss and could really use some advice from anyone who’s been here before. 😞 #CareerGrowth #WorkplaceAdvice #OfficePolitics #JobCareer
