Need some advice because I’ve found myself in a bit of a conundrum.
After all the reorgs, reshuffling and rebadging of employees and managers over the last five years, I have arrived at the intersection (or safe haven) of no mans land.
I have a role and perform my job function, but I no longer report to anybody. It has been this way for almost two years now. Everybody keeps reaching out and assigning me work and projects so I just take them on. There was only one time last year when somebody asked questions about what they saw in webphone so I said they must be doing some updates.
I kept receiving notifications about updating my goals and accomplishments but it appears that those were auto-generated. The one bad thing is that I no longer receive a review or a raise. I certainly didn’t think this glitch was permanent so I just continued on my merry way. I was going to reach out to someone to try to get to the bottom of this but when RTO started up, I got cold feet.
Maybe the person I was supposed to get swept under was let go or quit during the last reorg? Maybe there was an outage during some automated webphone update? Maybe I was meant to be surplussed from one group but was already approved to work with another group. Maybe it was the new HR systems or the new HR people?
My office indicator (and many of the other fields are blank).
As far as I know, I’m the new CEO.
