I have been put at risk and my position realigned elsewhere in the business. The only positions offered have been on a new NMC team. I applied for the team leader role and ‘up sold’ my skills to demonstrate what I had been doing in my current position ‘above and beyond’ the call of duty. The lead role was given to someone else (with all the cash and perks associated) yet I am being assigned numerous tasks that are clearly for a ‘team lead’ to resolve.
such as:
Composing shift patterns, assigning breaks, conducting team training, setting up the new team members laptops, reviewing daily/weekly output reports.
I have approached my manager who a)put me at risk b)conducted the interviews c)placed who he wanted in the new team,
his response was to ‘get on with it and be thankful I still have a job’ he then remind me the yearly performance reviews are coming up.
If I hadn’t applied for the team lead I strongly doubt I would be encumbered with these extra duties. My question is should I put up and be grateful (Dickensian style) or take the redundancy and move on….
