my job given to a new employee

[alufolie]

Hi, for the past two years i’ve been working as a service manager in a software development agency where I coordinated service delivery. I also did some ad-hoc projects and recruitment around the office but this was to fill in time when I need extra tasks.


Recently our company received comms that a new service delivery manager starting. when I read about what they'd be doing, I realized they were taking over my role and held the exact same responsibilities.
I was consulted after new employee was offered the role and now I'm working under the service delivery manager in a lesser role. Whilst I'm trying to be positive and get on with things, I feel discriminated against, as I hold a great performance record and I feel like most of the time I'm training or guiding my new manager.


Is there anything unethical about the above scenario or an action I could take to better my situation. I am miserable!

Were you originally appointed as a service manager or were you covering for the job?

Hello There,

I was originally on a 3 month contract as a senior support engineer. when my contract ended, I was offered the Role as Service Manager as the previous manager left to relocate overseas. When I accepted the role in Jan 2014, I was provided with a standard full-time permanent contract with this job title, role responsibilities and salary adjustment to reflect my new job. The new employee has a slightly different job title but that is the only variance.
