Not sure if I'm being "bullied" or management is just being dumb and is terrible at communication. Earlier this year the boss of my department scheduled a meeting with me, turns out it's with everyone in the management layer between me and him so about 5 people. In the meeting, which I knew nothing about beforehand, they quiz me on everything I've been working on. It's like I'm about to get fired or something but they say they just want to know what I'm working on because one of the managers wants to start asking me for help on their projects. They apologize no one mentioned it to me before the weird meeting and claim that was an oversight. They assure me nothing is changing except I will have some new things added to my plate. Months go by and nothing changes, I never get assigned anything from this other manager. The other week it happened again, I get a meeting invite and surprise it's the entire management team except this time we went over the list from last time and every single thing I've worked on for many years is being taken away from me, except the shitty thing no one wants to be responsible for. And I'm getting a new supervisor despite them previously assuring me that wouldn't happen. No one ever said a word to me about anything, just like with the last meeting. From my perspective it all feels very disrespectful and bizarre. I would be fine with change if we actually discussed it first and did things in a rational way. Instead they completely changed almost everything about my job without telling me they were even thinking about doing it. It really feels like they are intentionally fucking with me.
Ah yes, 5 layers of management and yet somehow your job is what needs inspection.
Yeah that's really fucked up dude I'm so sorry you're going through that. They definitely don't give a shit about your work performance to be throwing you around and all these different directions like that I mean come on. If I were you, I would straight up ask them what is y'all's goal with my position? Because there seems to not be very much clarity about it on y'all's end. Fuck them
