My manager is sabotaging my internal mobility and I don't understand why
I work for a very big company, and our team consists of approximately 40 people. We were reassured, repeatedly and in writing, that AI was an accelerator, not a replacement. Guess what's happening? People are being fired and laid off anyway, despite the constant reassurance.
My manager is trying to eliminate my role. Fine, that's her prerogative. What's really messed up is that she's simultaneously sabotaging my attempts to move to another department. I don't get it. If she dislikes me this much, wouldn't she want me gone, into someone else's department? If she's hellbent on cutting my role because she thinks AI can do my job, the least she could do is let me transition elsewhere instead. She marked one application as inactive before the interview, and I have proof. I caught her lying to another hiring manager, misrepresenting my qualifications, or feigning ignorance about them outright. Before anyone says I'm paranoid: I'm not. I wish I were. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern. This has happened at least eight times. Patterns are emerging. I was rejected for internal roles I was 100% qualified for, and the interviews went well.
Side note: we've tried AI tools at work, and they've been a disaster. Far less reliable than I expected. I use AI myself, so this isn't an anti-AI rant; it's just nowhere near as capable as people seem to think.
