Hey guys,
I’ve experienced the same problem at my jobs. Unfortunately, no one EVER get laid-off from the companies I’ve worked for. I’d suggest just doing you’re best to gain you’re management’s trust and respect. With any luck you can override that person’s judgement.
I know this isn’t the easiest route but if you’re not interested in leaving, atleast you can get their attention. Once you and the management get comfortable with one another you can start dropping ques that that person maybe holding you and the company back.
Just my 2 cents…
