Am I anxiously over thinking in.?

[AL51]

have worked at my current workplace for 3 years. I enjoy my work.

The company has two main departments,as as well as accounts department and HR department.

When I first started the job,the the job was general administrator, so iI did a bit of everything and didn’t work for a particular department (the company is all in the same building). Then after six months I was approached by one of the departments' supervisors, asking if i would like to do the role of project coordinator working within one of the main departments.

I did this role for around a year. my My appraisal was then scheduled, to which I mentioned that I would like the opportunity to become office manager, which would mean i worked inbetween the two main departments. My boss thought it a good idea and said that imI'm a good worker, always got work done on time, never had any complaints etc about me, and not long after I was offered the position. I think I did a good job with it.

During this time my old supervisor and boss had asked me to help out a little bit, which i was happy to do. This was doing some filing once a day, which took about 10 minutes to do, and also scanning of previous contract files,. Yes, this task will take time, but not so that I couldn't do my main job duties.

A few weeks ago,out out of the blue,my my boss came to me and in passing said, as I am doing more work for the department that I use to work in, then my boss wanted to make one of my colleagues office manager. My colleague works for the other main department to me.

After this I was very taken a back and now I am over thinking-thinking things and becoming anxious in the fact that my boss told me in such a casual way. Also it wasn't mentioned what my job role will now be,or my duties This has now made me think things such as, does this mean I will be dismissed or laid off...all of all the bad things, worst case scenario.

My boss is currently on holiday for a week, which doesn't do anything for me, except leave me with anxiousness.

What do you make of and think of the situation -– am I anxiously overthinking this?

So you were offered and accepted the office manager position, but now your boss wants to give the role to someone else?

Did you receive written notification about the office manager post, or a job description or new contract or was it a verbal agreement?

I don't know anything about the organisation that you work in other than what you've said, but filing and scanning contracts on a regular basis doesn't sound like the role of an office manager. Is it possible that your boss thought you weren't really interested in doing that role any more>

As your boss is away and you're clearly anxious, I think you need to speak to your boss's boss and say that you have been office manager since X and would like to remain so and didn't realise that there was any plan to change that.
