On Friday and Monday we publish the problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Guardian Work supplement, so readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy's own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I am a middle manager in a large FE college and have found out that the specialist areas I have overseen for the past five or six years are being moved across to be run by a colleague. When I joined all three of the subject areas I inherited were failing. Having worked extremely hard to restructure, restaff and revitalize these areas they are now stable and expanding. I take a great deal of pride in this achievement and have a clear vision for our future. I also have an excellent team working alongside me.
My line manager now wants me to take on a large sector outside of my subject specialism and pass my existing areas to a colleague, whose current area is underperforming. I have always been a team player and recognise this change is motivated by business demands. However, I cannot help but feel I am not getting the chance to finish what I have started, and am being punished for being a compliant manager and "a safe pair of hands".
