I have NC for this and I will be trying to be as vague as possible due to obvious reasons but could really use some advice.
Last year I resigned from my job because I didn't feel that I was adequately qualified to perform my role, largely because my immediate line manager (the lead person in the org) had no oversight of anything and I felt that all the load was on me which I wasn't qualified for and hadn't signed up to. When my line manager informed the board of my resignation, they asked to speak to me and I had a fairly frank conversation with them where I gave them a number of examples of where I felt there was a lack of organisation and accountability, on top of the fact that I did not feel adequately qualified to perform my role. They assured me this discussion was in confidence as I had no desire to raise a formal complaint or grievance and at this point I had resigned so I thought I would be leaving anyway. They then came back to me and offered me a different role with the particular responsibility I wasn't qualified for placed elsewhere, and although I still had concerns about the organisational culture, I accepted because I felt without that responsibility they were concerns I could live with.
However, many months later, the board have now decided to launch a staffing review and have stated to my manager (without warning me first) that this has been done because of my complaints of mismanagement. She's now asking me what I said to them and I'm in a really awkward position. What do I do?!
