Hi All
Have been in my current role for 16 months and up until recently enjoyed it. Since I started there has been some underlying niggles in terms of the more technical side of the team and their understanding of my role and appreciating what I have to bring to the team. Basically I feel that the manager of this team, does not feel that my role is needed. I have worked hard to prove myself and look past this, but towards the end of last year there were some niggles where some elements of my work were 'reviewed' by the tech manager and the director (neither I or my line manager was involved) nothing was discussed directly with me apart from the tech manager telling me about it after. A big piece of work that I did was also discussed with the tech manager, even though it is not connected to his role and again it was the tech manager that mentioned this to me. This week he also saw fit to say in a meeting which included the director that my role and a couple of other roles (non tech roles) are not working as well as the tech side. The director did push back on this and suggested that my role is actually quite vital to both the tech side and the other side of the org. Aibu to be annoyed at what seems to be the constant involvement of the tech manager, in things that do not sit in his remit? The tech manager is very much the golden boy, and can do no wrong but is also known wider in the org for backstabbing and I just don't now how to deal with this as we generally get on ok. My OH thinks that the TM feels threatened by me, because I am not technical but have brought ideas to the table, and will also challenge things that don't sit right for the team. But I do find it quite draining as I feel so undervalued by all of this, some days I just don't know what I am walking into.
