Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But it seems that the 'right' answer is either "in your job" or "working somewhere else." There are only so many spots between where you're standing now and your boss's job.
I guess the answer could be, "In the same job, but doing it better than anyone ever imagined it could be done!!1!" Depending on if the boss is concerned about turnover or ambition.

I have told people I want to be in the same position, but with the organization in a stronger position, so I'll be also managing assistants.

Punishingly Intricate
Any thoughts on Altman's Nashville?
One of my favorite movies EVAH.
Could someone cast those two in a movie so my head can explode
HOLY YUM!
"Where do you see yourself in five years?"
My boss knows better than to ask me something like this! Because, yes, my answer would be very much like ita's.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Could I love George Clooney more? Only if his name were Nathan.
Just so you know, should the opportunity arise, George ain't calling you at home in the middle of the night.

That seems so inadequate for a path, though. That's what chafes me. It's the truth for me--I want to do this, but better, but I just know it's not the right answer. Of course I want to do this and be paid more, so some of the problem does lie in my lap.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Seriously, though -- there are bosses that dream of having the same person in the same(ish) job for five years. It shows commitment, too. You just have to know the person asking the question to know what the "right" answer is.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Every year during my review I get grief for not "growing". Why is being satisfied with your current position not acceptable? Especially since most of the people I've worked with have grown themselves right out of the company. No PC tech at our location has moved on to better positions in our company, they've all move on to better positions at a different company. And how is keeping up with new technology and new systems not considered growth?
