Sounds like a bait and switch, which is very common in companies Also, they are navigating around you to attain what they want at your expense. Unless there was something to gain in that junior role, I would develop and start executing on an exit strategy. The company culture is showing you that it's not fair and that it's not for you benefit. What I would do is 1) Talk to a lawyer about anything legal with the bait and switch 2) Talk to the coach and your leadership about the change in roles and their reason 3) Talk to HR about policies for transferring into new role in the future. Does it take 6 months? 12? Be careful of how you navigate it. Ask inqusitively and stealthily. Don't trust your coach. And dont let anyone know your plans. Based on what you learn, I would consider returning to your previous job or waiting things out a year while interviewing for a new job. If your position title has not changed, then it doesn't impact your resume. I personally would not advise staying in a place where people are trying to oppress me and the direction of my career. I've been there and done that. I advise you to leave but thoughtfully and strategically. When a company breaks your trust, see your way out. And if they want you to do junior work, don't take on senior work. Do no more and no less because they may ask you to train the new girl and do her work. Be strategic in how you say no.
EEOC
Update to my earlier post: I met with my project lead/coach. He said I was the first person hired in at my level. It was due to my background and a strong series of interviews. However, the role I was hired into for this project doesn’t exist. He said I come across as very confident in my abilities but “some folks” have a problem with that.
Thanks for the rest of the details. It could work out in your favor eventually, but I certainly wouldn't want him as my coach unless he's willing to help you get to another project or role in the company to make up for his "mistake". Then, no hard feelings towards him, just let that senior leadership that you impressed pull you into other work. Get a new coach as soon as you can. And off his team. Advocate for yourself while there and elsewhere. Keep us posted!!
