OK..i'm been in this company for 2 yrs...
sitting near the server room(i'm the admin). I'm the only one
in engineering at this section while all the rest are at another. Not far
away coz this is a small office...basically 20 feet away. My vp of 1 yr
comes and tell me today that he wants me to move to where they are...
When i asked for reason, he said something to the effect of '..business related'.
Basic bull and dodge. I mean if he really thought i should be with the team
wouldn't it have come a year ago...why wait a year and request it now?
Somehow this is leaving a real bad taste in my mouth ...to the point
of me wanting to quit or they can fire me to make me move. :disgust:

You're gonna quit cause they moved you cube 20 feet to sit you closer to the rest of your team?

I thought you were going to have some serious concern like they wanted you to move 3000 miles across the country. Stop whining because they want to move your office, who cares.

Actually you should quit, it will look awesome on future applications when they ask for the reason you left.

I get moved all the time, in fact just before coming in this thread I was reading an e-mail with new assignments.

Deal with it.

Are you gonna burn down the place now?

lol, my first thought too. We're trying to clear up the area, soooo if you could move to the basement....yeeaaah, thanks.

Really though, give the move a try first and if it doesn't work out, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I agree that you're probably overreacting.

No, you don't have to be happy about it.. but if you quit because of something like this, IMO.. you're going to have some problems in life.

you are way too paranoid.

Keep in mind who asked you to move. What else does a VP have to do other than mess with things, right?
