[quote=Anonymous]I have a new boss who took a 2-year long leave of absence and is back now. It's only been a week but already the boss wants to go back "to the way we did it 5 years ago."  Technology has changed, people have changed, the business goals and models have all changed -- going back to the past will tank our departments financial goals, cause turnover and major political issues with other leadership. (Everyone except her boss and the resident bully hate her). She also told me yesterday point blank that she wants my coworker (her direct report) out because "they don't see eye to eye."

My job was awesome - I was doing the things that I love and getting lots of praise and increased sales -- now her new directives completely suck as will my day to day job.  But to not get forced out I guess I need to heed her warning about "seeing eye to eye".

I can't start looking for a new job until at least January. I've only been here for a year and left a 10-yr job for what I thought was my dream.

How would you play this out?  Roll over and do what she wants (which will end in lower sales, burnt bridges and damaging relationship)? Speak up?  I'm going to try to transfer if I can... Or, look outside but I worry about looking like a job- jumper.[/quote]
