Here's the situation, i'm the company IT Manager who was moved over to our online business (because that's IT) and put in charge of the adwords campaign and all other online marketing, Link building, microsites etc. By me doing the job they saved £6k per month they were shelling out to SEO "experts", they don't pay me half of that. To cope with both roles (no extra pay) i dumbed down the IT, got rid of our in house hosting facility etc. Now i've done a damn fine job if i do say so, profitability is up month on month. So now they call me into the office and say they are making changes to the office structure and i'm being moved out of the online business section and therefore need to find a position for myself, "because we don't need an IT Manager now the IT has been simplified" They have offered me the chance to Project Manage the biggest white elephant in the company's history, with longer work hours, loads of traveling ("your kids are grown up now, you don't need to spend time with them" - they are 6 and 8)for zero extra pay! Or i can be made redundent, but they don't want to do that in case the IT goes tits up. There is no other role in the company. I think it's time to move on. First thread, so go easy on the gramma or i'll post a picture of my bike with the stickers out of line on an unkempt lawn :-)

Welcome to the forum. There seems to be a fair few more jobs about lately! Get looking and see what you could be earning in your next job. These guys obviously are not going to look after the asset you are.

With Lemming-like tendencies?

Use the next few weeks wisely. There are oppotunities out there you just need to find them. Get yourself on Linked In and contact old colleagues and customers. Get your CV sorted now and get it out there.

Similar thing happend to me last year. After 14 years I was out the door on a compromise deal. Took me 6 months to get back in work.

Good luck and stay positive.

Oh and get legal advice!

i'm thinking of suggesting Reverse Cowboy as the position i'd like, just to see their faces

You'll need to ask for a mirror as well if you want to see their faces.
