| That makes perfect sense. How would you resolve the issue? The most important role that person has is to support the leader and implement their ideas while providing leadership to the team. Advocacy for her own ideas and rallying the team behind them doesn't support this. So google decides to move unhappy employee and friend to a team with a different vision . On the new team her she doesn't have the service level others do. What would you have done?
Move her to a new team with more junior members so she can still feel like a leader still? That project will be less important than the project she is on. Does that matter? Maybe they wanted to put her on a team with stronger senior leadership to help guide her. Should they have moved the manager on and made her manager? When I see comments like: belittled, insulted and ignored The manager heard how she wanted to do the project and gave reasons why. She did not accept his leadership and kept bring up her point of view. At first he answered them but tiring of being undermined he gave less importance to what she was saying until just ignoring her. She rallied others to go against the manager and used that in her complaint. Google took the issue serious and said we need to move her and her friend to another team. If the manager has similiar issues in the future they may let him go. If she has similiar issues on her new team the same might apply. Internally she may not be asked to join as many teams. And he will be watched closely. Lose-lose |
