I enjoy working at Cox, but one thing's driving me bonkers. There's simply no room for advancement, I've been stuck in the same position for what seems like forever. I've put in the work, I've proven that I'm capable of much more, but it all seems to be in vain. When a rare opportunity presents itself, it's usually somebody who's good with the management who gets bumped up, even if they're new here and are significantly less qualified. In all honesty, I'm not sure I'd mind getting laid off right now, as I am too comfortable to quit, but there is obviously no future for me here.

@2tsi is correct, The more you climbe the ladder, the more they want to lay you off. That is because you make too much money, in their eyes!
If you advance and make more money, you are on the radar for "restructureing" Love that term, nice way of saying targeted termination without cause. Cox's HR people have gotten really good at dancing around this process.
this has been going on for a while. not likely things will change any time soon.
