Sounds like a civil service or a stat board department that you are working in. Only civil service and stat boards can afford to have so many levels of supervisors, and at your level with only 2 subordinates. So if this the case, then maybe they are streamlining and right sizing to reduce operating budget. If you are indeed working in a CS or SB department, they are unlikely to (and cannot anyhow) sack you. Since your supervisor had already asked if you want to consider transferring to another department, I would suggest you take up the offer. It is clear she doesn't need you to be another layer between her and the other staff. Remember, she needs to justify her position too! Quote:

i agree with u that the signs are telling.. but the key thing here, is how should u react? yes there can be many reasons to her actions, but it offers little value to u knowing.. i would identify this as an act of "managing" someone out of the organization so that the person resigns.. the reasons could be i.e. top down mgmt instruction to cut headcount but no budget for retrenchment package, or she wants to bring in someone she knows and trusts to replace u, or etc.. what u could do is both of the following: i. speak to her whether indirectly, or even offer ur help and say that ur port is now all shifted hence u dont have much on ur plate but u would like to contribute in some way.. ii. concurrently, update ur resume and send it to recruiters, companies directly.. defend ur position now in a professional way, keep email records of ur requests for work and offer of help.. this would help if any escalation is required.. all the best.. |

Reason for my current feeling is because since this new boss took over, she's been moving all the work I usually do to others, and also gradually leaving me out of cc'ing for everything. I don't even know when she's on leave because I'm not cc'd anything. My previous boss would cc the entire office for everything. Because of this I feel her act is slowly aimed at moving me out of all the office operations. I also did an appraisal with her 2 weeks ago. It was 4 minutes long and there was no talk of growing me into any area, rather, the immediate topic was if I am interested in any posting out. When your boss talks with you for more than 25 minutes trying to justify why she wants to move staff who report to you to report to her instead, and in contrast spends 4 minutes doing your appraisal, I think it's quite telling. |

Is your remaining duties transferable to two of your staff? Can the two staff cover your job without problems? The economy is not doing well. There is a real chance of cutting headcount. I feel you are in a bad position. You are basically middle management, which increases your chance of being the first to go. The company can still function with the grunts and top management. |

Nowadays the titles are so inflated that every man and his donkey is also a manager or director. Many fresh deg grads go in public sector straight away manager and have a big team of dip/o level officers under him, I doubt anyone in the market see them as hot leaders "up to the job of a manager". Doing appraisal for 2 people doesn't mean anything, it's the complexity of the role, your current salary (clearest indicator of real rank) and company brand you work with that is the most important in what future employers look for. There is really no choice for you and any response is solely for show as she already tell you she doesn't care. So either quit or just suck thumb and carry on. Personally I would just wait and see how the situation unfold. No need to make hasty conclusion too early. Sometimes new boss just want to wayang to show their authority and scare their subordinates to not try stunt. |

| Brats | So what is the appropriate response? Just let her? In the eyes of the biggerbosses I may be seen as not up to the job of a manager (my current title) since I am not supervising anyone anymore. | |
