They won't say anything declarative to you guys unfortunately, but you just have to hold out hope. We had something similar where we got a lot of positive non-answers...our team ended up being fine in the end but it was definitely a lot of anxiety for a while!
So far, I like working with this "sibling" team and they have told me they are happy with my work.
Would it be OK to let the manager of this "sibling" team that if they get an opening I would be interested to switch to their team? They would get an engineer with some ramp up knowledge and I would get to continue to work with people I feel comfortable working with.
I'm hesitant to talk with the manager of the "sibling" team because I just joined my current team 7 months ago and I would be letting them know I'm interested behind my current manager's back. I don't want to give the "sibling" team the wrong impression but I feel like it would be a good option for both me and the "sibling" team. It would also allow me to have a backup plan in case I get laid off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Do not go behind your current managers back. If you are interested in the other team talk to your manager first. They will find out quickly if you don’t tell them and it won’t go over well.
I agree. I would recommend talking to your manager first just because I wouldn't want to burn any bridges. But you do you.
