Listen to your gut.

We are navigating a new world. Upskill, don’t worry about length of time so much, and anticipate more of a runway needed with any change.

i’m in the same boat. we just went through a reorganization and things are even more muddled. they’re actually hiring for a bunch of new roles on my team, but i applied and didn’t get a promotion. my new boss is a work friend, but it’s clear the org is prioritizing skills that only younger people have (and i’m only late 40s!). my plan is to find a new role outside the org, but biding my time until then

If your gut is telling you something is off and you don't feel like it's a fit, you need to start looking for a new job. Ignore your gut at your own peril.

2 years is old news; do what’s best for you.

If you can get support through your boss, or around your boss, through a network or other channels. If none of that is possible it’s a calculation of your pay vs your mental health.

How long have you been there? If over 2 years get out

In my experience, an employer who you believe is not investing proper resources has already given up on on you being a good fit. I'd cut your losses ASAP.

Leave if it is obvious you are being set up to fail.

Are you the poster that texted your boss after hours?

When you have another job lined up. In the meantime, nod and play nice and focus on other opportunities in the same or different org/

Worth persisting if you can actually talk to someone to address these problems, and can receive coherent, concrete responses. If you can't do either, move on.
