I am approaching my one year mark with the company that I am working for.
Toward the end of last year, i was sat down with my boss and co worker (trainer) and they explained to me about the promotion me to what my trainer is doing now.
Training started first week of January and I am expected to be fully trained by end of March.
Training has been going on fine as I asked my co worker how have I been doing and she said I'm doing great.
2 days ago was my performance review and in that review my bosses asked me if they had anything for me to say “any advice you would like to tell us” and I just said the simple, “praise in public , correct in private” my bosses did not like thar because then one of my bosses went all in on me and pretty much said just deal with it. Basically could not take a small criticism.
Fast forward to yesterday I went to my bosses to explain to them about the situation and that I wanted to reiterate what I said. And they still did not take that lightly.
Today, my boss and trainer sat down with me to tell.me that the promotion that I was supoose to get is no longer I'm getting and that they will be outsourcing the role literally 2 days after the comment I made regarding correct in private praise in public. And I believe 110% that it has something to do with the comment I made and this seems to me like retaliation. They made excuses like we feel like we'd like somebody in a expeircned position and we're going to be outsourcing the role.
Honestly feel like this was retaliation
