Recently, my immediate senior and friend was promoted as our new Team leader. During our appraisal discussion, I clearly told him that I was expecting a promotion and I am not happy with my hike. I even told him I'm thinking if I should change my job.
He asked me to stay for another six months and that he would get me a promotion during mid year appraisal. I wasnt convinced but I decided to stay.
Now, they have hired 2 new people into the team and want me to transfer all my knowledge and work to these 2 new hires. He wants to push me into other division and start from ground level. He says it will give me exposure but I feel I'm being sidelined.
What do I do?
I can take an internal transfer and look for jobs within the company but I might become a target if I do that. Or should I change my job.
I really like what I do here. So this breaks my heart.
