DH keeps getting raises but no title change

[Anonymous]

OP, why are you so invested in your husband’s title? If he’s really the type who needs his wife to do his homework for him, maybe he’s not director material.

Being "so invested" doesn't mean dashing off a quick post on an anonymous forum. Posting here isn't exactly doing "homework." It takes 15 seconds. You sound mad!

You should consider Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime if you're stuck looking for amusement on a Jobs forum. There's also YouTube.

And if office humor appeals to you, there's also the fine film "Office Space" and acclaimed TV program "The Office".

No, this arrangement actually works out perfectly for me. I’m going to bow out, since we’ve gone off topic. Best of luck to your husband, his title, and you by association!

Who are you, his mother? His recruiter? Or are you his wife?

He sounds like a beta simp. That's why he isn't a Director yet.

Oh my. Good luck. And don't forget about the wild world of podcasts next time you need help filling your day with smiles. All best.

This thread has certainly hit close to home for people.

Some companies simply don't have the space for the next title. Apply to that next title somewhere else.

This, or is there someone with clout (of any kind) that would be threatened by title change but does not see the paycheck?

He gets positive reviews each time. He gets raises each time. He makes what is on par for the industry. He really just needs a different title because without it, he can't then segue to a new job at the level of seniority he wants (and it affects recruiting. too).

He is frustrated. I asked him what his boss said, and I guess his boss says he should do x, y, z...then DH says he already does that, and they get nowhere. (I'm not on the call so I have no idea how it plays out but DH basically says he's told he'll become a director when he does stuff he already does.)

DH then pressed his boss for a concrete plan and a weekly check-in about the goals to get where he wants to be. Beyond that, what can he do? Why does this happen? The ONLY thing I can think of is that my DH presents as exceptionally laid back and doesn't telegraph "leadership" in the way some of his peers might. IDK -- ideas??

He doesn’t telegraph leadership and you’re asking us why no one wants him to lead?

And you're not hearing what everyone is saying. He needs to leave to get a title bump

How does someone leave a job and get a new one at a higher level? Isn't that tough?

Every job I’ve left for was a title and comp bump.

+100 happens all the time
