created for me. It's an essential position and the learning curve for it is really really steep so no one even wants to know what it is I do. :-) Seriously, I have spoken with my direct boss and the department boss and get the same exact response (neither of which created the position for me). So the upside is, I can have this job forever if I want it but the downside is I'll never be allowed to move into any other position at the company ever. Basically, there will never be a promotion for me. I've tried and have been denied opportunities in other departments (once they put the name to the face). I've literally been told that no one wants to have to call my boss and tell him that they've offered me a job in their department (and this was in an interview). So like I've said, I can't figure out if I have the best job ever or the worst. If it's the best job, then I should be happy but every day feels like I'm just stuck in a rut. I'm just wondering how I should handle it so I can at least feel like I'm making some kind of progress in my career.
