I have been in a job (public sector) for a couple of years. Have always reported into the same person, a head of a fairly large department. That person is quite powerful/influential for various reasons.
Recently I was informed that someone new will be brought in, a new post will be created between myself and my current line manager. The new person will line manage me.
The reasons given for this are that my current line manager is taking more on so won't have capacity to line manage me, and the person coming in has a skill set/remit I can work with.
Instinctively, it feels to me like an extra layer has just been added between me and the top of the tree. Am I being unreasonable? I don't seem to have any choice, it was presented as a done deal.
