I reported to a C suite level executive. Suddenly they’re changing the reporting structure so I report to this guy one rung lower on the totem pole. They pitched it as “your work has dried up, you need to do different work around here, you’ll work with this guy & then you can be his successor.” Also removed my one direct report who also now reports to this guy.
Obviously am furious. If you wanted me to leave why not just severance me out? Already working on my exit plan. At least pay is the same. Don’t you think they’re trying to get me to leave?
