I was working in a large org leading an Agile transformation & had recently gotten promoted into a leadership role when approached about an opportunity with a late stage startup. I took the position & almost immediately (3 months) they did away w/the role (not officially but by assigning unrelated work to me) & I’ve been reduced to a job I absolutely HATE! The pay is great but now they’ve approached me to take on Program Manager role(uh, NO). Any suggestions on getting back to w/out leaving?

Is it possible for you to put on the Agile coaches hat when serving in the role of Program Manager? I imagine this is only part of the demands that are appearing in your plate as an Agile transformation leader. At one level one can view the change management part of transformation as having a programmatic approach demanding skills of a program manager (facilitation, relationship building, and for sure what I call the energy sapping task of reporting).

This happened to meet today too, I was just moved to a waterfall role after being hired for Agile transition. How did things turn out for you?

Looking at possibly accepting an offer at Microsoft (nice offer) as a recruiter. It seems a little different, no sourcing due to no time & the slating of one female & black or Hispanic.
