Can work with others but rather work alone 8) --- End quote --- Interesting to hear. I am being politely "herded" towards management. *snip* So... you see why pushing me into management is pushing me into failure. --- End quote --- I suspect that's the idea. You are being handed your hat. --- End quote --- While we don't know the particular situation here, promoting an employee to a management position for no clear apparent reason (including, they didn't ask for it) can be a red flag indeed. It's a common way for a company to push someone out gently when it has no solid ground for sacking them. |

The goal wouldn't be to get into management.....it would be to get into the HR department. Whoever controls the hiring decisions, controls the social landscape, the direction of the company and it's political bent. |

And writing this to a guy who seems prone to overthink things and worry a lot -- just for the sake of a punchline and a cool film reference -- is also rather insensitive. I am with fourfathom here and would assume good intentions on the employer's part. Nevertheless paulca's reservations are justified. --- End quote --- IIRC he said that he's told them multiple times he's not interested in such a management role. Combine that with him having rocked the boat a bit on the DEI stuff, I certainly would not rule out hat handing. Being one of "trouble maker" employees myself that speaks up about stuff, I can tell you that this kind of thing happens. Could be completely wrong of course. |

OK, important career tip: Don't rock the boat unless you can afford to. If it's that important to you, be prepared for the consequences. |

Work yourself into a position where you are not afraid to lose your job or simply tell them to shove it and leave. Having your job held over your head like a sword of Damocles is no way to live. |
