Hello,
I have been working in the IT field for nearly 8 years, currently i am unhappy with my Job and the department restructuring decisions made by upper level management. Here are some of things that have been bothering me.
Beginning of this year i had a one to one meeting from someone from HR, they are fully aware of me wanting to transfer to another department to further my career. I was advised that due to the crisis there was not much in terms of opportunities and things could pick up during the year. The company is trying to remove consultants from the company in order to reduce costs and to replace them internally.
End of may i noticed that a consultant left the company in a team i would be interested in, i informed HR i would like to join this team, they came back to me stating that they have no intention of replacing consultants internally and to keep looking at the internal positions on the company’s intranet. So basically Hr have been feeding me with lies or its too early to add positions due to the crisis, even so HR should have been straight with me from the beginning.
Upper level management made a decision on the restructuring of the team i work in, some members were moved to another team due to their extensive technical knowledge which i had no problem however, they are no longer located next to the team i currently work in, this in my opinion leads to inefficiencies of course the management decisions are final although they are never there to see how we work and what we do so how can they determine how the team should be structured, it seems to me to be a very political decision.
I asked one of superiors what the process was to move to another team, a few months later several members of the team found out including the manager above the superior which i was unhappy with as the superior was the only one i informed, seems to be a gossiper in the team.
Due to the actions of my superior i have began to lose trust from her and maybe other members of the team and have decided to distance myself from some people do my job the best way i can mind my own business and leave.
I have been at this company for nearly 3 years i was promised that the company encouraged career development and would provide me a career path, of course i was wrong so now i have contemplated but not too sure if this is the right time to look for another job outside the company. But not any job it has to be the right career move as its tiring moving sideways.
I have experienced unhappiness, depression and anger due to these issues. These conditions have made a big impact in demotivation whcih has affected my MCSE training.
has anyone experienced any of the following issues? How do you tackle this?
Thanks for any advice provided.
