[quote=Anonymous]I was a project lead for the past 2 years and have been getting good feedback until now.  My performance review which was a 360 review stated my positives but under the development opportunities section in the review it was noted that I need to be more patient when in discussion with others and that I am so determined to get my opinion across that I do not take the time to listen to my peers and to think about what they are trying to tell me.  I took this to be constructive criticism and have been actively making an effort to be a better communicator.  Fast forward months later my manager demotes me to be a contributor citing that others feel uncomfortable asking me for help. He told me he was thinking about this for a while and did not make this decision in haste yet he never had any meetings with me to discuss his concerns.  I then asked for specifics about others being uncomfortable around me so I can get a chance to explain my side of the story and was told that he did not want to name names and get into specifics.  
I was very disappointed at this news and after some reflection I decided to seek out other programs within my large company.  There is another program that could use my skills and they are interested in bringing me on board.  When my manager found out about this he took me out to lunch and told me that I am making a big mistake by leaving the program and that my contributions are vital in order for the program to succeed.  He then rehashed everything I have done wrong in the past 5 years without letting me get a word in and told me that I would make the same mistakes again at any other program so I am better off not leaving so that I can work on my issues.  I feel like he just does not like me as a person but values my skills that I bring to the program.  I am considering looking for a new job but I do have a flexible schedule and a very short commute.  If anyone has ever been in a similar situation please let me know if it is worth staying to try to win my managers heart and mind over or if he is just a poor manager.   [/quote]
