Hi All,
I need to know if I should just suck it up & stay, or if I've been truely wronged and should get out. Please see scenario below.
I have always been the initiator, taking up unfinish tasks, learning new tasks when no one else knew them, or try to learn them. So, I ended up becoming a lead. It's been this way for 6 years, and 3 years ago, our apps were switched to
Java. Again, I took the lead in carrying the group through that huge learning curve.
Now, about 6 months ago, my manager hired some other developers, at lower levels than me, who also, have 6 years, but the difference is they have been developing in Java for that entire time. Therefore, they have overcome many of the pitfalls that I still encounter.
Although, our current app could have been coded better, which I never failed to admit to my manager, and I now know where the improvements need to be applied, that also told to my manager.
We are comming up on a project that is being build off of my project (as a base), which we have already started to enhance. But now my manager has pulled me off as the lead and gave it to the 2 new people to lead. All this time, I have been told that I've been doing a great job. No negative feed back at all.
Am I being over sensitive & therefore should just lay back and not be angry?
Or, am I being slapped in the face?
If this is a slap in the face, what would you all recommend I do? This has been my only programming job, and so I don't know how to handle this.
Please help me. I really need and appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Lulu
