I met with my CEO yesterday in a more casual social type of call. We have rounds that occur through our chat software that allow us to be matched with someone to have a 15-minute social visit. This allows us to get to know people in the company better. So I was matched with my CEO for the second time.

My husband thinks it was a mistake for me to bring up anything about a Content Manager role. I did, in this social visit. She asked me how my work was going, so of course I took the opportunity to tell her that I had enjoyed content ideation, that I discovered a skill I have in this area, and then I went on to mention how IF a position for a Content Manager DOES arise, that I would be very interested. I said that my boss had mentioned it to me as a possibility.

I don't think I was stepping on my boss's toes by mentioning this to the CEO? Do you? Instead, I feel I was self advocating, but my husband thinks this was a big mistake. He frequently thinks that what I say and do at work is wrong.
