Well happy international women’s day to me… today I found out that since “sales makes too much money,” we are being re-orged. I was put into a new role that will make less money, without clear details on what the role actually is or where exactly my comp will land. It feels like a demotion. I worked for so many years to get into my current role – I loved my job. Loved it. Have never been notified of any performance related issues. I thought I was simply being re-aligned within my current team, not thrown into a new role that I had no interest in.
I am so sad and frustrated. Working for 6+ years towards the goal of landing a role, finally landing that role, and then having it taken away without notice, along with the pay. IN THIS ECONOMY????????
I have no idea what to do next. Feeling pretty hopeless at the moment. Thankful to still have a job, but wow. Corporate America can fucking suck it.
ETA; the kicker is that I have 10+ years of very specialized technical experience and I’m getting put in the same role as people who I have had to help edit a PPT.
