[quote=Anonymous]VP of HR here (but not YOUR VP of HR, so I am giving you advice as a friend who has experience in the biz).

It sounds like it possibly could be retaliation or discrimination, but “possibly could” cases are difficult (expensive) to prove, and unlikely to result in a settlement that will replace your income (including potential growth) for the rest of your working years. You’re not going to get millions because your boss said someone else is now doing the “fun” part of your job. And you’re not getting a settlement that forced your boss to let you do the “fun” things anymore. You will likely be legally forced out of the company.

It is definitely certainly a really crappy thing to do to an employee/coworker.

Do your skills/experience easily transfer to a different job? What is the job market like in your sector?

A very similar thing happened to a friend of mine. The snake coworker ended up getting promoted over my friend and given my friend’s former duties. It was devastating for my friend. After a lot of soul searching, she decided it was better to just leave the organization and find employment elsewhere.

That’s what I would recommend you do: start looking, networking, asking for other tasks that build your experience (if you can). And when the right opportunity comes, pounce on it, turn in exactly two weeks, and never look back.[/quote]
