Three weeks ago, I was replaced. I have been an IT Manager for 4 years, within the same company I have worked with for 6 years. I have a spotless record, and received outstanding performance reviews every year. It is an excellent company and I do not want to leave, but my situation has made it very difficult to focus on my “new” role.
The scenario:
A new Director was appointed, which I was a direct report. Two weeks after, my director came to my office, to say I was moving to QA, that I was not loosing my job and if I didnt like it, to find another job. Also, two weeks after my move, a different employee with no management experience, let alone, call center experience was placed in my old position. So now, I am learning my new environment and making the best of the situation.
My Delima:
I want to persue finding out why this was done, as I was given no explanation or reason. Should I go to the director or HR? Also, is this something that can be done in an at-will work state? I am basically concerned, that if I do persue this issue, I would be black balled and eventually let go for something.
