[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve posted before. I’m having major anxiety.

I’ve been unhappy with my manager and the team I’m on has a lot of dysfunction.  There was a promotion opportunity in another division. I applied and I got it. It’s a title and pay bump, more autonomy etc.

I gave notice to manager - he was ok. The next day I get a scathing call from my bosses boss. How I was “irresponsible” for applying, I should have let my manager approve my application (HR signed off per company protocol ), and that it looks like I’m running away. He wants to block (best case: delay) my move because “the other team is stealing his resources”.

I followed company protocol. I went through the process like everyone else. I was honest and transparent. I asked new boss to approve me supporting one of my existing projects to see it through.   And now I may end up with no job. New boss is not amused by drama.

Not once did anyone ask me how I was doing, or what my career goals were or even say “nice job”.  So, what do I do now?

Go straight to HR to let them know about this call.  Do not take any more of this guy's phone calls directly - force him to leave a voice mail or talk to you in person.  Have your cell phone ready to record discreetly.  And consult an employment lawyer just in case you need one.  I would think that, if you followed company protocol and HR signed off on the process and promotion, you'd have a hell of a case on your side for suing the shit out of them should they dismiss you.  This sounds like textbook retaliation to me.[/quote]

Retaliation for what? [/quote]

Retaliation for trying to leave his team. How do you not get that?[/quote]

How do you not get that that's not actionable?[/quote]
