No shit, it’s because they took their best worker off of production and made them management.
I worked my ass off to be one of the most proficient workers at my job. They “rewarded” me with a manager position (if I didn’t take it, our team was going to fall apart miserably).
Now they’re all shocked-Pikachu that the production numbers are down in my first month, and it’s my fault. I’m supposed to “manage performance” and get to the bottom of why.
They’re down because I’m not producing any more work, fuckin aardvarks. They relied too heavily on me to carry the team for two years, and now they’re left with the second string. No one else has the training or experience I do, so I’m also expected to do the toughest parts of my old job in addition to the new thing.
I went from being the golden child to the one who “needs to ask for help”. Plus they are setting neurotic, arbitrary standards that were not expected of the last manager. Gods help me.
