[quote=Anonymous]I've been with my org for several year, have enjoyed the work and the salary is great, but I really don't see much else for me. I'm not one of the team members in line for a promotion; I'm not a manager in the making, never wanted to be, and I just don't have the personality (I'm not one of the talkative ones during Zoom meetings bantering away and then gushing about the projects, can't make myself do it.)  I take the paycheck and go home.

I've looked around for other job possibilities, but the market out there sucks and the field I'm in (marketing/creative) pretty much offers only lateral moves that pay less for more work at this point.

So, here I am. I'm stuck until I retire. The raises are decent so that's motivating enough to stay. I have been hoping for an internal lateral move just to change things up, but my division isn't hiring and people are not retiring (several staffers in their 60s are hanging on until 67-70, from what I understand). And management hasn't been filling the roles that do open up when the occasional person leaves or retires. 
Anyone in also in position out there have good survival skills to share? I don't think I'll get laid off anytime soon, but I feel like I could also become the older woman management wants to dump for a shiny new penny. I participate in trainings when required but just don't have the interest in going to loads of conferences and staying late with pre-teens.
