I work in production processes, and the general manager transferred me to work in the sales department

2018-03-09View Original

Thread Content

I worked in this department for two years as a process supervisor; my colleagues were also responsible for team management. The team I led transformed from being the weakest team to one that performed exceptionally well, and it was recognized as an outstanding team at the company level for two years in a row (there is only one such team at the company level). Over those two years, I progressed from an ordinary process engineer to a process supervisor. In November last year, I was promoted to assistant department manager. At the beginning of March this year, the general manager spoke with me and said that I would be transferred to the company’s sales department – a department responsible for communicating with clients, issuing work orders to the production department based on client requirements, as well as handling negotiations with clients and drafting contracts. The general manager said he wanted to transfer me there, with a three-month trial period, and that’s all he said after that. I have no idea what his intentions are, but I know that as the general manager of a company, one doesn’t talk too much to subordinates who are several ranks below them, preferring to keep things mysterious. I haven’t been transferred there yet; I will be in a while. May I ask the experts, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

You have the skills and management experience – what’s there to worry about? Your salary will remain unchanged; don’t set your expectations too high. Just focus on doing your job well. After those three months, if you’ve achieved results, the manager will surely give you a clear answer. If your performance is average, it might take a little longer; or if the new position isn’t suitable for you, adjustments will be made. The key is not to have high expectations in your heart; you’ll be surprised, haha

Based on what’s been provided, it seems the boss values your abilities and wants you to develop in the business department. If you can demonstrate skills that exceed those of others, your future prospects will be very bright. Of course, it’s also necessary to take a look at the situation in the production department; if there is poor harmony with the current manager, it’s normal to consider a transfer. In any case, it’s most important to showcase yourself; adapting to this position means having one more option available. Keep it up!

Understanding the business advantages of re-managing processes shows what the general manager expects from you.
