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.
Good gracious. I've just seen lots of other comments on this thread that I didn't notice when I first commented earlier. It's as if they've suddenly appeared from nowhere. Reading through it, I'm shocked at some of what I see. It seems there are some unresolved animosities amongst members and the arguments have led to this person who posted the thread to leave. This is a great shame. I thought the question he asked was perfectly rational and understandable, and as I've implied in my first comment I think I would feel the same. The first response and some of the others following on from it do seem quite harsh and blunt, and I would only hazard a guess that there may be some history behind them. I'm basing this on some other comments I've seen on another thread, which don't seem to be so strident or confrontational. I would have hoped that people would have been more tolerant and understanding about one another on forum like this. Many of us are quite damaged by our experiences in the world, so want to come to a place where we can talk openly without being judged or abused further.
Yes, Greg's question was an expression of how he felt after what he thought was quite an unjustifiable action by his employer. I have been deterred from answering the original question due to what has been said. But I might respond later as I have had the same sort of experience with my employer.
So have I with a past employer. I don't think there's any arrogance or selfishness expressed by the original poster and he does seem to have attracted some quite rude comments at the beginning. I hope he has stayed around and that he gets the answers he needs.
