Iowa-
It all began September 2016, while I was on a 6 week medical leave from surgery. I received a phone call from my manager stating they were outsourcing my job as the Contracting Specialist to Costa Rica & the transition would begin in November. I trained my replacement through December, where she took over and I just became a resource, along with taking on a different role. The agreement when my job was outsourced was that my manager & HR would “Build” a position for me that revolved more around Data & Reporting & I would eventually transition over to a different department within my business unit. This role was created December of 2016 and progressed into strictly Data/Business Analytics up until now. Multiple times from December 2016 until today I had met with my manager on an “Update to my Job Description & Title”, because even today, I still do not have one. They continued to say they are still trying to figure out my Salary Band and hadn’t come up with a “Title” yet. It has now been over a year that I have not had a job title within Cargill, and my name in our Organizational Chart is “TBD”.
A few months ago, my manager had brought me into her office to discuss my job, and said “You need to figure something out with your position”, when the agreement had always been they would build one for me. My only other option in this company is to essentially be “Demoted” to a “Associate Customer Service Support” position significantly below my current scale & skill set. At this point, I took it upon myself to just start applying for Internal positions. When browsing through job postings on Cargill’s Intranet, I found my exact job description posted. The only difference was, it had a job title, and the Salary Band was now “Senior Professional” which is at minimum $25,000+ more than what they are paying me. So, not only was I “losing my job”, but I found out exactly what I should have been making the 13 months. Here’s where the real kicker comes…. So, I just decided to apply for this job opening because I know I was more than qualified since it’s the job I’ve been doing for over a year, and I’m the only one who does it in my company. I applied for the job, received the confirmation email saying they received my application, was sent an email requesting I take an “Aptitude Test”, which I did. I then personally emailed the hiring manager the day after I applied letting her know I had submitted my application, and I had provided her a copy of my resume with my past 2 years performance evaluations on January 9th, 2018. I finally received an email back today from the hiring manager, to my original email from January 9th mind you, saying they hadn’t received my application and that they were now done interviewing. So not only did I get pushed out for a job that I am perfect for, but essentially just lost my current position.
On top of these issues, my previous manager has made inappropriate comments in regards to my position on numerous occasions to other coworkers. For example, she had come over to my area to talk to an old supervisor that I was currently talking to, and had made a comment about me doing some “random work” for her. The person I was talking to, whom used to have her position, had said “That’s really not her job is it? I thought she did your Data & Reporting, not to do overflow”, and she had responded to him as well as the others standing around “My department pays her salary, so I can have her do whatever”. First off, to belittle me is one thing the same day you tell me I need to figure out what I’m doing about my job, but to talk about my Salary to other employees? I’m at a loss anymore.
Can you tell my your thoughts on this?
