I was in operations and left to do my license, the goal was always to be flight deck and my bosses/colleagues knew this. I built up a good reputation in my area and the company, and eventually got the chance to progress to the right seat of an A320 with them. Regardless if I was wanted to be kept in ops, I wouldn't have stayed as when you're dream is to fly the last thing you want to do is sit on the ground. Good luck to all finding jobs
