Worked at one of my jobs for 8 years. Around the 4th year mark they made some decision to add a higher paid training oriented role into it that was essentially meant as a manager role, but you had no actual underlings because your goal was to go area by area and supervise or say where they could possibly do better. I was told I was the perfect fit, and honestly I love training and helping people so it was right up my alley.
I officially trained for the position for almost a year, got the credentials needed for the position and even extra permissions system side to be able to run the position, fully expecting that I was going to be getting the position. Then suddenly radio silence, the training sessions stopped with no followup, I stopped getting invites to meetings.
I eventually asked "hey what is going on" and they said "oh parent company decided that we weren't good enough to actually get that role". So much time wasted for getting that position. The only real positive that came out of it is that they never actually took away the additional security permissions I was given, so I was the only one with my title to have basically full access to anything system side so any issue that came up I no longer had to escalate to a management level or rely on finding someone to have to escalate for me.
