[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, I’m sorry you’re struggling. It sounds like they made this move without looping you in first or reassuring you that it has nothing to do with your performance. But it really sounds like you answered your own question early on: “ the VP this director reported to always questioned why this team under me existed as he felt like one of the teams under this director was doing similar work.” That’s the answer.

Again, I’m sorry you were blindsided and you sound like a good manager who is proud of your work and your team. But I’ve been in this position before as a team member on the team who is reporting to Manager A, but where Manager B in a completely different department is doing very similar work, also where the rest of my manager’s direct reports are doing very different work to what I was doing. For company efficiency’s sake, it would have been better for my little team of 3 to be reporting to Manager B. But people were afraid to rock the boat and make changes so the odd org structure that dated back 20+ years when the company looked very different was allowed to continue. [/quote]

Thank you. To give more context my team was focused on credit risk, the other team on FP&A, both teams in the Finance org. So my team would look at loss rates and the other team was looking at P/L impact but they would take over sometimes n start presenting about losses or would start working on strategies without including my team. The Product team preferred working with the other team as they’d say yes to everything while my team would put controls/guardrails in place and questions why are we doing a vs b. [/quote]

Have you posted before about this? It feels familiar- as in your team is not. as popular because they have to say no which is their job. 
If that was you and you felt the "unpopularity" before of your very successful team, then that could be why they moved it under the other director. [/quote]

Agree this feels really familiar and similarly written. Especially about being embarrassed.[/quote]
