Well, I work as a Senior Team Lead in a company for the past four years. I am doing very well, and my work is always appreciated. However, I had some conflicts with another lead who was reporting to me for two years. I am very strict when it comes to work, ensuring that all assigned tasks are completed on time, and I expect the same from my team members. The Team Lead reporting to me was not completing reports on time despite my reminders.
In January last year, he went on a business trip to the US with our manager. Upon their return, I was unexpectedly removed from the project without any explanation. When I inquired about this decision, I received no satisfactory answer and was asked to oversee a different project instead. I was upset about this sudden change, especially since I had started the initial project from scratch and did not want to leave it abruptly. I declined to move to the new project and insisted on managing both projects.
Apart from this issue, everything else was going smoothly. However, my fourth-year appraisal was delayed by two months. Recently, my manager called me for the appraisal review and brought up the previous incidents. The feedback he provided was inaccurate and unjust:
1. He claimed that I provide feedback on the floor, which is untrue as I have never done that.
2. He accused me of trying to take credit for the settled project, which I do not seek as I have a track record of working on projects independently.
3. He mentioned my refusal to move to another project, which I had already explained.
4. He suggested I have ample time to assist other teams, overlooking the fact that I am always available to help my colleagues.
I received a grade of B, which is unusual considering my nine years of experience. Feeling distraught, I expressed my dissatisfaction and even considered resigning if the situation remains unchanged. The situation has left me disheartened, and I am reluctant to return to the office. I learned that the Team Lead under me has threatened to resign if I am not transferred out of the team.
I seek advice on how to address this situation as I am unwilling to accept these inaccuracies.
Thank you.
