How do you go about reassigning work (be it projects, duties, etc…).
Do you talk with the employee losing the work first?
Do you bring it up at a staff meeting and surprise everony?
Do you tell the person getting someone else’s duties first and surprise the person losing it?
My boss tends to reassign work on the fly – which puts both affected employees in an uncomfortable situation.
I’ve tried talking with him about it – but he only got angry with me for questioning his decisions.
It’s unsettling when you’ve worked on a project for months – only to have it taken away arbitrarily and given to someone who’s not up to speed or simply not the right person because of his background or from an organziational perspective.
