[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell them that! Especially if there is no raise and highly value you and there is still a need for people to fill whatever functions you have been filling. Plenty of people I manage have let me know that they are not interested in moving to roles where they need to manage, or do business development, or whatever. It’s a bummer for me as a manager, and their positions might be at risk if the work they currently do dries up, but otherwise, it is what it is. If you’re good at your job, you have some power here, and absolutely can push back. The risk is that other future opportunities might be cut of for you, wages may stagnate, and you might get a reputation for not being a team player that can hurt your standing and job security, but you don’t have to be a complete pushover.[/quote]

I was ambushed, did not expect it at all. I am replacing someone great who started just a few months ago. Honestly I think my manager was hoping to ambush me so I could not say no. He is someone I dread and always puts people on the spot. It was presented to me as "you will be replacing Lauren", not as "would you be interested in replacing Lauren?" [/quote]
