Applied for a inhouse role, but did not get it. However what was noted was my expertise in 'X' (relevant but unrelated to the role i was applying for) and it was questioned in depth during interview especially by CEO, i went on to add 'X' was not an area i wanted to focus my career on hence why I applied for the new role.
Prior to all this we had a reshuffle in the dept and an email was sent out outlining the change. There was a lot of commotion amongst staff and many were unhappy, I was ok didnt really bother me where i was placed, as its still the same job.
So back to current time. I was called in by one of my managers and told there would be a further reshuffle of a select few because more emphasis was needed in 'A', and therefore my name was put forward to moving to a dept specalising in 'area x'.
When asked what my thoughts were, as if its just a suggestion. I simply said its not one id like to take on, regardless of my expertise in it, its not specific to area 'x' and there are far qualified individuals to do it in the dept. She then tried to sugarcoat the whole situation and really sell it to me by saying if you dont like it we can change you back. My answer was still the same no. She ended it by telling me dept 'x' manager will speak to me to explain more.
Long story short after 5 various people trying to convince me but to no avail, i got a call from ceo asking what the problem was with me doing 'x' , i calmly said theres no problem but my choice is not to take it on as i was told its just a suggestion and i had a choice. Ceo then said you have ample expertise in 'x', the same thing she pinpointed in my interview, and just quite bluntly said theres choice. No extra pay regardless of how skilled i am in 'X'. Previously extra has been awarded.
The same job in 'X' was advertised last year as a skilled job, very few applied and those that did got the job.
So basially im just annoyed im being asked to do something that is not actually my job but has come to hia attention from an interview he never gave me a job for.
