. . at least not in this situation.
Today I found out that I will be moving teams and reporting to another supervisor. I was not happy about this at all. In the past, I have bounced around from job to job. I get bored very easily and would leave the minute I was no longer interested. In order for me to like my job, I have to like my supervisor and so with my current job, I loved my supervisor. We got along very well and I was always comfortable going to him with any questions. I've been at this job for a year and half (which is a very long time for me) and I know it's because of the people I work with and my supervisor.
So now I'm moving. The supervisor I will be getting was hired outside of the company this past March. She does not have a good reputation with the staff. My impression of her is that she has not been very involved with her employees because she is always so busy. I don't hold this against her because she is new and has been learning. My biggest fear though, is that she doesn't seem very approachable. I have had to ask her questions a few times and she always gives quick answers and seems irritated. I hate having to go to her office because I'm worried I will be disturbing her and if I don't understand her explanation, I'm afraid to push it because I don't want her to get irritated. My current supervisor is not like this at all. I'm hoping that in the past I have caught her at bad times and that it will not be this way once I move over. I'm trying to stay positive.
I'm very sad about having to leave my old team. I love the people I work with and was really hoping, naively, that this day would never come. It's a bittersweet move, however, because my boss told me that along with the move I will be getting a promotion. I also am moving with 2 of the people from my current team, so I'm happy about that.
I guess I'm just sad that I will be leaving a team I love so much and I'm worried that my new supervisor won't be as helpful as my old one. I know I shouldn't be so upset and I'm trying to remain positive, but it's really ruined my day. I'm almost nervous. If she ends up being the way everyone says she is, I will end up dreading coming to work and will eventually leave. I don't want that to happen. I'm just scared.
