have i been treated unfair please give advice?

Question

I have worked for this company for the past 4 years i am the first employee that was hired by management since they opened a branch on the west coast basically i ran the office & yard when the manager & vice president were not in once we were big enough & had more business more employees were hired & it was always known that i was the office supervisor even though i never officially had the title. in Jan a new girl was hired i knew something was going to happen this girl is more knowledgeable of the business our company merged with another company last Dec and the merger was just recently finalized. On my last review my official position was dispatcher/supervisor now with the merger new corporate has done a lot of changing around this new girl is now the supervisor but nobody has been officially informed yet i still have all the responsibilities that go along with that position but no one has informedme that i am no longer a supervisor . Please advise on how i should handle this

Answer 1

Seeing as how your organization just merged with another organization, I'd say play it safe (depending on how badly you need this job). Remember, if what you're saying can be misconstrued as speaking out of turn, office politics have a way of finding their way back to bite you in the a*s.

Here's what I'd do. Do some research. Find out who's responsible for delegating the roles. Send that person(s) an e-mail requesting some time to meet with them. Seeing as how they're just finalizing this merger I'm willing to bet they're still fairly busy so do NOT say anything cheesy like "I'd just like to get to know the new team mates". Instead, advise them you'd like to make it a smoother transition and know exactly how this will affect your role with the company. Prepare some talking points (your previous salary/wages, your responsibilities, who you reported to, your achievements, your goals, etc.)

And in the meantime....start looking for work! I'm not saying this jokingly. Bottom line is, if you're not happy with the answer(s) they're giving you you'll either have to work at a crummy place OR you'll have to leave. Be proactive about this. Set deadlines as to when you'd like a response from them about your role/authority. Decide what you want to do, and work towards your "backup plan".

Hope everything works out.

Cheers.

Answer 2

Sounds like you totally failed to speak up for yourself or ask for an employment contract with the new company .
If you don't sell yourself based on your skills and contributions to the company ,
Nobody will .
Your momma don't work there .
Either learn to speak up ( in a professional way ) or
Start accepting whatever crumbs are tossed your way .
