Can anyone advise me on the best course of action with my situation
I am a senior manager at my company and have worked there for 3 years.
I was promoted to a new role a year ago and have had my ups and downs managing my new team which I have found difficult as it was my first management role. This has been exacerbate by two particularly challenging a difficult team members.
My boss now says that he does not see my future as being with the company, as my man management skills are not a good fit with the company. Its not the "what" im doing wrong, but the "how" apparently.
I have not had any disciplinary or performance management issues brought against me and am achieved success in all other areas of my role.
They are asking me to basically look for a new job with their support. They are not firing me ...their words are "they do not see a future for me within the company due to my lack of skill at managing people"
I feel totally knocked sideways by this and dont even feel I can go to work there now.
What should I do
They are suggesting a meeting with HR director "discuss options" on Monday.
They have verbally without prejudice said on the phone that I could consider staying with them and finding a new job, or agreeing an exit package/compromise agreement as two options.
My concerns if I decide to stay, my confidence is at such a low ebb now I think this may lead to making mistakes/underperforming and they will intigate performance management. I do feel that at the moment I cant even face going in. Boss has made it very clear in his words "you wont change you have had long enough and its irretrievable"
I have been a top performing employee till now, and still achieving all the company set KPIs for my team, have had good appraisals, obviously or they wouldnt have promoted me.
Should I go for compromise agreement? I do not wish to fall out with them, just look after my interests especially financially.
What should I expect financially from an agreement - my role is quite specialised It may take me 6 months to find a new job.
If anyone could offer advice that would be great. I am not sure what to say/not say tomorrow at the meeting.
