Work related vent - micromanaging execs

[pamela]

I'm so fed up with senior execs at my company micromanaging everything. 5 levels of up from me are arguing about whether I can move from one department to another on site. They have no other qualified candidates for the other job, I'm fully qualified. There is no training program for the position I'm applying for and we're execellent at training people for the one I want to leave so the loss of me won't hurt as bad.

All the management at our site agree to let me go which is a miracle in itself. That should say something to the corporate execs that the site all agree this is a beneficial move for the site. But no.....

GRR...my boss can't even get a straight answer out of the execs as to why they are blocking me.

That's all. So frustrated. Just want to be able to go home on the weekends and stay home. Or leave at a reasonable time on the week days.

Ugh, I hate that. Execs need to learn how to trust the people they've hired that have brought the company success. 5 levels up, do they even understand what is really required in both roles well enough to make that decision? They don't seem to understand my Dept. even 2 levels up. Good Luck! I hope they come to their senses.

It's giving me too much time to reconsider if I want to take it. I'm comfortable with current job because it's where I "grew up" in the industry. But the new should definitely be a better quality of life. It won't be as fun as current job (mostly because my BFF works with me) and I lose my window cube. Sadly, I think that's what I'll miss most, the window. Amazing what a difference that makes.

My boss just asked again if I'm sure before he goes to bat for me again. Yes, I'm sure, have to keep telling myself that.
