Am I wrong to feel offended by...

SciFiGreg

Am I wrong in feeling offended that a task I've been performing for over a year has now been assigned to someone else, with someone other than myself supervising them?

Said supervisor hasn't consulted me and has disregarded my documentation / process.

Feels like a massive FU to me.

My work colleague tells me not to take it personally.

I'm growing tired of people spouting things like...

"Don't take it personally", "You're not the only one this affects", "I don't understand your problem", etc.

Management at work do my head in.

  • To me it sounds like poor communication and management on their part rather than any reflection on you.  If tasks are reassigned then it makes sense for the smooth running of the organisation not to mention staff morale to keep all parties informed.  

    I appreciate it's difficult not to take it personally, but I would probably bring it up at the next reasonable opportunity (any 1:1s or other review, perhaps) just to check whether there were any reasons you should be aware of.  Also, just to confirm it wasn't personal, I'd notice how this person behaves with other employees.  Perhaps they're like this all the time?
