I was really tempted to just walk out of work, and say "I QUIT" on the way out yesterday. The scenario is that yesterday we was told that we are supporting something that should be done by another department; but since they so busy by it; its now supported by us.
The issue is that theres people of a higher grade and pay that a trainned and qualified to deal with this project within our department, but since theres not enough of them (we been telling them this all the time) they can't do it, so they told us who have not been trained to do it.
The reason why I'm upset is that we are now doing the same job of the people of the higher grade, and due to the way that the project is ran; the job is infact harder. All our bounses are setup to reflect the work we do and this will affect that. Since we will be doing the same job of the higher grade; the likelihood of them needed those people in the future is very unlikley; therefore I can't see them promoting anymore people to that grade and as a result I now see myself now in a dead end job!
Another thing that really upset me about this, is that when I tried to rise my concerns to the management; they will not discuss it! I belive that they know we are right; but may have been told by higher management to do it.
One of the managers said "If your that concern rise your issue in an email to me, and cc in <higer managment name>, but I would sleep on it if I was you! cause you wont like the response!" This to me; sounds like a treat.
In the past before we was told to do project, we would sit down and work out the guidelines on the support; so we know what is expected and what we deal with, in this case they just dumped it on us; and we aint got a clue.
The support for this project is been moved from one department to another; mainly since no one wants to do it or they done such a poor job of it, it was taken away from us. We dont want to do it; but theres no business reason why we can't do it; so its likley to stick with us
.
I can't go into details of the project or our roles in the department for certain reasons, but Am I in the wrong to be upset?
Its not just me in the department; everyone in the department - apart from management seems to upset on this as it seems the start of doom for our department.
so far the management are trying to sort something out; but it will not stop us doing a role that we are not paid for or using new skills which they have not trained us.... whilst theres people that do get paid and been trained not doing it since they don't have the staff and wont employee more.... I have emailed them about the training.
Today its not been better; no one wants to talk about it as its aways ends up in rage!
