Caporegime
So...slightly annoyed today.
Basically I joined my current employer 3 years ago. One of the reasons I joined was the position was advertised as offering certain things (working in certain locations which would be extremely beneficial to career progression).
I knew it wouldn't happen straight away but - made sure every year during my appraisal to mention and have recorded that I still wanted to do it and also it's recorded in my appraisal that should the opportunity arise I would be accommodated.
Well...the opportunity has finally arisen! I've worked at and developed a very good relationship (to my employers benefit) with my client and they have agreed to cover all expenses and accommodation for me, the only thing my company would have to do is let me go and cover my salary.
They won't.
I'm management so require an exec to sign off and they're refusing saying that I'm needed elsewhere within the business.
Instead they're sending someone who my client doesn't know, who hasn't worked with the client and will not benefit from the experience to the extent I would. Needless to say they're not overly impressed either as having me out there would have been of great benefit to them.
Now my knowledge of contracts is deep enough to know since it ain't in my contract there's bugger all I can do - however is there anything I can do about them not agreeing to what was previously agreed and signed off in my appraisal? This was signed off by the exec in question as well.
Basically I'm livid and want to know if there's anything I can do other than find another job and move on from a company that is apparently an 'investor in people' and 'top 100 UK employer' which clearly from my experience there in the last 3 years they aren't?
