Hello Seniors,
I am a human resource professional working in an itservices organisation for the last three years. Lately, i've become a victim of office politics and would like to check if there is way to turn things around. I am really looking for mentoring/support/advice, from the senior folks in our forum, which can help me change the perception that is build , about me , in the organisation. Our company had headcount of 200 , when i joined, and since reached a headcount of 400 and and is still counting. I did extensive work of hiring ,taking up adhoc responsibilities, and did everything diligently and added value to the organisation ,by doing things ,which inspired not only my colleagues but also impressed my manager. There was a moment when the vice president of the company,publicly, awarded a pat on the back to me, but things changed ,post that, and my own manager started behaving in a weird way. For instance, if one does a bad job, it is inevitable for the boss/ manager to act grumpy , but its hard for me to comprehend the reason , for passing the heat, when one is at the top of the game. Can his behavior be manifested as being insecure ?
Few months ago, they hired somebody above me who apparently wants me to do basic activities rather than the ones which i perform now, Obviously, he will do the things that is in his interest and not mine or the organisation. Although i do the entire work, the appreciation goes to him. Also, some of my friends in the organisation advised that he floated rumors of me being a junior guy. Does this happen often in corporate companies ? As a human resource professional i explain people our office culture which is suppose to be open and transparent , but i am in dilemma whether it actually is ?
Obviously, i cannot talk to anyone in my office about this , hence, thought of seeking help here. Please help!!!
Regards
