I work in a small group in a small consultancy. There was a head of dept who did their own thing and really his line managee ran the dept. Now his line managee has been promoted to the same level so we have a small group with 2 VPs running a group of 8 people. The other group is hiring so their group will be twice the size of ours. What our group will be doing is pretty limp. The tasks of the other group was painted in lights with words like strategic and leadership in it! I feel we have been sidelined and my new boss as I say does his own thing. There is an 8 hour time difference between him and me. The other person in our group is nice but deathly quiet, won’t say boo to a goose and is effectively admin! My new boss has only ever managed one person before and been in the one company since he graduated. I’m so pissed! I’ve told my current boss I’m not happy but in our 1 to 1 when I asked what the vision was the group - he cut me off saying he had to go as a client was calling him. Totally rude! I am looking for other jobs but it’s a slow market!
