I popped in to see the senior manager I mentioned on Saturday (the one who usually pops in for a chat) to ask him a quick question. He made me sit down and asked me how I was feeling. Well, I didn't mince my words. I told him exactly how I felt in what was probably not the most elegant way I could have ('I'm pissed off and I feel like shit'). He listened to everything I said, we had a chat and left feeling so much better.
He explained the decision to move me, again, and I told him I knew why they'd done it but it didn't stop me feeling like crap. I ranted some more. It came down to bad timing really. I inherited management of the office just at the point they were working out what to do to fix it. He admitted that moving me wasn't his idea, it was the woman who told me (very bluntly) that I was being moved. He apologised for the way that she spoke to me (making it sound like it was my fault) and said that she wasn't the best people person in the world.
Anyway, just the fact that he was willing to listen to me and appreciated how I felt was enough. Half of the reason I was so upset about the whole thing was because I was being treated like a work producing machine instead of person. Nobody asked how I felt, if I was ok, anything like that. I was just told I was being replaced end of story.
I pointed out that this conversation would have been better on Thursday when I really needed it, which he accepted.
He also told me that when we're back up to date with our work that I will most likely be moved back to manager. We'll just have to wait and see what happens
He made me promise to go and talk to him if I feel angry or upset again so that's good and he said he hoped I didn't put in for a transfer (which I mentioned I was considering) because I was one of about 4 people on our floor he could have a decent conversation with.
So, I am a (relatively) happy Hils again.
