May be me just having moan, but I don't feel easy about.
12 months ago, a large company bought the smaller company I work for.
A few months ago, I was asked to sign an agreement for the new terms and conditions to be implemented for Oct 14, and told by HR and Site Manager not to worry, there were to be no redundancies.
Myself and co-manager of our department were told yesterday that our roles were "at risk" of redundancy, but that there were two new roles on offer that we can apply for, that were to take over our responsibilities. One role that was very similar, and one role that has been determined as a more senior role to cover the activities of the department.
During the consultation meeting today, the discussion regarding the more senior role, it was becoming evident to both my witness and I, that there was little to no expectation, that either myself or my co-manager, would be considered for that role, and that it looked to be a head to head with my co-manager (a close friend of 24 years) for the lesser / current equivalent role.
I asked if consideration had been taken to train one of us, (with consideration to the 24 yrs experience we have with the company each )to take on the role, which was met with a response of it not being considered nor likely to be.
Am a little more than aggrieved with the situation at the moment, and may just be spouting off, but I cant help feeling I am about to get shafted.
Any thoughts would be most welcome.
