Some companies do this to prevent people from "not concentrating on work", it seems to me totally stupid, one of the best companies to work for in the world Google, encourages the creation of work groups between people who get along.
It's a shame that this happened to you, but look at it this way, maybe your team was so good that they decided to optimize the other teams with people from your initial group, it's a smart way to create functional groups.
I think you should not worry about that if your team worked but they separated it, surely they will do it again, the safest thing is that the pieces of your work team were necessary for other groups for other projects, so they would not lack anything, enjoy your work Well, people come and go, who knows that you will like this new group that you will have more.
How strange to read this, I feel that now companies pay a lot of attention to work chemistry, I recently had a job interview and one of the filters was an interview with the work team, to see if it was compatible with them, it seemed like an initiative great because, in the end, they will be the people with whom I will work day by day.
One of my supervisors a couple years back had this weird fixation on moving people around in the office. It's like as soon as I would get used to my desk-neighbors I would get moved to another desk. I still don't get it, I found it odd. She thought it helped productivity in some way I guess?
That's always hard. I'm sorry you're going through that. You might be surprised by having the chance to work with new people and I know it isn't what you want, but maybe it will turn out to be a good thing?
Probably my least favorite thing about my company's culture is that they have some hang up about creating "cross functional teams" where everyone works equally well with everyone else. I mean it makes sense to a degree but wow, is it ever frustrating!
I'm a civil and this happened to me a year and a half ago. It sucked at first but we all got so many more opportunities to grow in the end. So I recommend just having the expectation from the onset that some things will go well and some things won't and trying to take peace in that.
