One of my friends worked in the HR Department and gained 10 years of experience in HR. Recently, he resigned from his current organization and joined a new organization (completed two months of service). The problem is that he interviewed for an HR position, but he received the offer letter mentioning Assistant Manager without any department name. My friend joined without confirming his roles and responsibilities. Now, he has been assigned operational work that is not related to his profile, and he is not interested. Despite asking his reporting manager multiple times to change his role to align with his profile, the manager is not listening and responds sarcastically.
Please suggest, should I advise him to continue for a few more months or leave the organization and search for a job that matches his profile, considering he is receiving calls for HR positions.

Dear Saibaba,
Your friend, who has 10 years of service in HR, was interviewed for an HR position but was issued an offer letter as "Asst Manager." Now, he has been assigned duties other than HR and is confused about what to do next.
A query like this, coming from a person with 10 years of experience, is questionable. Moreover, your friend was in HR. How did he accept an offer letter that did not mention a proper designation? This is a point to ponder. Instead of coming to this forum and raising a direct query, he has assigned this task to you! This is one more mismatch!
Anyway, if he is receiving calls for working in the HR Department, he may consider choosing a new job in HR.
Thanks,
