NER: Can I work vent for a sec?
I just need to get this out, I am so pissed and I don't know how to deal. I have been working on the same project for the past three years. The only person who has worked on it as long as me is my boss. I'd like to think we make a good team, he handles the strategy and I handle the tactical. We're kind of buddies in our misery and frustration, because we've both been there from the beginning. Plus, we both went to SEC schools so we have lots to talk about during the fall 
Anyway, we just won our new contract award at the beginning of the fiscal year, and my position - after 3 years - moved to the client site (goodbye nesting btw). That's all well and good, but I HATE being on-site. I recognize that my position would probably have been more efficient if it had been on-site to begin with, but I love the consultant world, with nice conference rooms, actual walls, free coffee, and most of all, nesting. I don't think I have words to accurately describe how much I despise "bullpen offices".
Anyway, I told my boss that I knew the position needed to be there and that I would go. He stays in our corporate office. So today was my first day on-site. A random task lead at the same level as my boss comes in today to talk to the client. A few clues are thrown my way by other team members that my boss may no longer be our program manager. So I talk to the task lead today, and she says "yeah, I'll be helping XX out with the program management. Looks like XX wants to do more of the other projects he has and he'll be a subject matter expert for this project."
I'm sorry, but WTF?! I've been with him 3 years. He's not just my program manager, he's also my admin manager, and for fuucks sake he's my buddy in this miserable project of ours (don't get me wrong I love the drama and frustration, I do love misery). I understand that he likes his other clients better and they demand his time. But why didn't he TELL me?? Now I'm out here on the client site fending for myself and I have to ramp up a new program manager? Are you kidding? I want to confront him tomorrow after our client meeting, but I don't know what to say. We're not that close that we share personal stuff, but I trust him a lot and I look up to him professionally. And I feel like he's just leaving me out there on the client site to die, the day after I start reporting to the client site. Anyone have any insight? I'm so frustrated, I need to say something. I just don't know what...
Re: NER: Can I work vent for a sec?
Ugh, that sucks. Maybe just take him aside to ask him wtf is going on... professionally, of course.
But yeah, just try to hammer it out with him.
That sucks. I think it's totally within your right to say that you are ok with the move to the crappier location because you knew it made sense, but your willingness to be a team player was in large part because he was on the team.
Is there any way you can spin this whole mess into getting you back into the better office at least 1-2 days a week?
