Eight Years In, Still Hitting the Glass Ceiling?

I've been at my company for almost eight years, working my way up to supervisor in a field where, honestly, people don’t expect someone like me to thrive. I’m well-liked, dependable, and have a reputation for making the hardest jobs look easy. Yet, every time I try to move up, it feels like there’s an invisible wall. Recently, I applied for a manager position—only to be told my application never arrived, even though the system clearly says I applied. I see others getting promoted, often with less experience, and it’s hard not to wonder if I’m being overlooked for reasons beyond my control. Is it my personality? My background? Or just bad luck? I’m genuinely at a loss and it’s starting to wear me down. Has anyone else been in this situation? What did you do to break through? I’d really appreciate some advice or just to know I’m not alone. 😔 #CareerGrowth #WorkplaceStruggles #Promotion #JobCareer
