Ensign, raise the beariscope.

Feel free to gut check in the corporate thread, but my read on the situation is you are capped out at this company and need to seek elsewhere for career advancement.

They like you and think you do ABC well. In fact, you do ABC so well they removed people management tasks from your plate so you can do ABC and maybe add DEF competencies.

When the department adds enough headcount to need a manager role, $10 says the new director will interview you but hire an external. It’ll be “a really, really, tough choice, but the external has more of the direct management experience we were looking for.”

This poo poo is why I work at a small agency and just accept that it means less pay, I cannot stand all that bullshit.

Also, hi thread. Anyone else here work in digital ad-buying? All of our traffic ads with Meta have suddenly stopped converting for the client on the website side, no matter how much traffic we drive for them, despite no visible change on our end in CPC or any other key metric. It's across almost all clients so it's difficult to explain away as an economic or seasonal lull, and we're wondering if click farm bots are starting to consistently hit ads or something. I'm not seeing a lot about it online, though. Has anyone else seen this?
