I don't want to advance?
I've been working in IT/Security for a couple years now and I'm being pressured to move into a leadership role that, frankly, I don't want. But the business is putting me in the position where they expect me to be a manager when that sounds lame and if I don't accept, my job may be at risk. Does anyone have advice on *not advancing* I'm cool with what I do at the compensation I get paid. Do I *need* to do more to keep a job?

From my side, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s why opinions are all over the place
From the outside, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s where it gets complicated This could age very differently in a week. That’s the impression it gives me.
this feels rushed rather than thought through and that tension shows up immediately We’ll see how people react over time. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
Trying to be fair, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which makes the reaction pretty predictable
From the outside, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone

Reaction: Downvote away
Real talk, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s why opinions are all over the place
Without overthinking it, this comes across more reactive than planned so the response doesn’t surprise me Not convinced this is settled yet.
the timing matters more than people admit
