Hi everyone. I need some advice from you guys.
Basically I am working in this company for more than a year and i basically created my department from scratch.
I created and built storage section , Work area for the job i do. And i transformed the products we make(Multi million dollar machines)to whole different level. I always got congratulations and good pay rises from management. I got suppliers coming everyday from different companies and basically living the best work experience i had.
I had them hire a helper guy without experience to help me with the job. We were doing good but we were swamped with work. I told the management that i need the second helper guy to increase quality and be faster.
Then i left the country for work purposes. It took close to 3 weeks
When i return this Monday they said they hired a new guy which will start Wednesday.
Guy got started but they are now telling me he has the same authority as me.
I feel betrayed. I feel like I got cheated on. I feel trash. I couldn’t had any work done.
Today I requested and demanded a meeting. They basically told me there is nothing they can do and they need the second me as to guarantee their company.
I was gonna quit directly. I even had my resignation letter ready before meeting. But owner of the company asked me to just wait for 3-4 months to let myself settle down.
I told them thats not possible due to its being a long time. And we left it there for this week. Owner lives out of country and he flys around 20 hours to come here. He said he says he will be here next week.
What i feel like is basically i am training my replacement for them. And i dont want to do it.
So what should i do and what will you guys will do if you were at my place.
Thanks.
