This query is : Resolved
I am working with one reputed co. Recently I have been going through weird situation. Few weeks back, my manager shouted at me when we were learning activity from a resource who was leaving.My manager passed a general comment with weird voice- you must not have seen emails/files . You never see emails. I replied his shouting that how could he say like this and pass general comment ? He replied with weird faces that I shouldn't not argue with him. After that incidence he stopped looking at me or talking to me.Later on, I was given a midterm feedback which was really negative having 10-15 points mentioned. like ..I never checks reports. I never come to meetings in time etc. Most of them were meaning less having an intention to prove me wrong. one important point was ..I never talk professionally with colleagues. That is why team is not willing to work with me. . I discussed it with manager, his boss and HR. My manager's boss gave me a challenge to handle a team as he would release my manager once I accept the challenge. I really don't want to take this challenge as there was a paradox. I denied. After that , I have been facing situation like..Manager has stopped communicating with me, including me in meetings. Directly giving tasks to my team etc. Yesterday, one of my activities was done by my reportee without letting me know. When I confirmed with him I realised that my manager only asked him to do the activity. In addition to this, my authority to allocate work is also in question. Will my team perform the activity given to them ? Sooner or later my manager will make me redundant. Our HR says I should talk to I BU head when I asked for movement from team. Please suggest.

From your own description, it is gathered, it is none else other than you, who created a weird situation for yourself.
You should have remembered, "boss is always right." If you considered him not right, you were required to prove that practically by creating an evidence to that effect. But, you lost the opportunity, even when offered by your manager's boss, who gave you a challenge to handle a team, as you declined to take that challenge, as you have very clearly confessed that you "denied".
So, the only alternative for you is either to mend your own attitude or switch over to some other job outside your existing company.

I don't understand the meaning 'mending my attitude's. The challenge given was on bad notes. It was real paradox. Does my denial offer my manager or his manager a right to have xcommunication and that me like this ? I don't have any remedy here ?As I have not been getting a movement from team.
