To ask what they really think of me?

[Unsure999]

My job is being changed so I look after a new area and new clients

This is part of a wider restructure and this I gives me a stretch/learning opportunity for my career and is being sold as positive development.

My current manager made a side comment in a meeting today about how my current area is failing more than ever on a key but unmeasurable metric (think relationships). In my 121’s I have been told that things are going well. It was said amongst lots of chatter so I couldn’t get her to repeat it to clarify.

Now I feel that there is a very different opinion of my performance and the reasoning for my move.

Should I ask for detail and push for clarity/honesty or just go with the official line and not worry?

I feel really unsure - any ideas?

What do you mean by “think relationships”?

But is your current 'area' only staffed/run by you, solo?

Yeah I'd just ask.

"Sorry, I missed the bit where you were talking about XYZ. What was it you were saying?"

@Aprilx

What do you mean by “think relationships”?

She means think of something like relationships.

I can understand that your confidence feels knocked but you could just power through and knock 'em dead with your success in the new area!

I think the op means it’s subjective in terms of measuring the metric.

@Bluntness100 yes that’s correct

If it's not measurable what are they using to define it as failing? Is it complaints, conversations with clients? Is it just their own perspectives?

I would ask. Because it will eat away at you and it might not be what you are interpretation is.
