Since the leaders have talked to you, it is estimated that the matter has been decided, or it is already a sure thing, which is the normal state of the workplace. On the surface, it is to ask for your opinion and let you give way, but in fact, the meaning is very clear, that is, to find a place for you again, and if you don't want to do it, you have to go one way.
The way enterprises employ people and institutions is completely different. If you want to change positions and leaders, you will generally find a good position before you talk. The organ's decision is to obey, which is a kind of organizational discipline, and disobedience can be punished.
However, for cadres in leading positions, organs are generally still relatively humane, either only transferring posts, or promoting an idle post, or directly relegating to the second line and enjoying the treatment of a higher rank.
But according to your description, you may be working in an enterprise outside the system, for enterprises outside the system, basically the boss alone has the final say, the boss says you can do it, and the boss says that you can't do it, then it really can't, even if you have a high ability, you just can't.
In your case, since your direct supervisor has already approached you, and the conversation is so direct, he did not beat around the bush, but directly said that you are not suitable to be the minister of engineering, although such direct and harsh words are a little unpleasant, the words have been said very bluntly, you have a thousand unwilling, ten thousand unwilling, that is also in vain.
If you still want to continue working in this company, then you can only obediently accept the idle position of deputy chief engineer. The position of deputy chief engineer seems to be higher than that of the Minister of Engineering, but this position does not have much real power, which shows that this company has given you enough face and given the way to the first level. If you really have the ability, then it's time to change companies.
In the past year or two, due to the uncertainties in the economic environment, many companies are struggling and barely holding on in the midst of difficulties. If you want to change jobs, this year or two is not the best time, but don't let go of the idea of changing jobs, after all, everyone is uncomfortable, in fact, the boss wants you to change positions and give up your seat from the beginning of the meaning of wanting you to walk, but it's not good to say it directly.
But people have to bow their heads in the workplace, and sometimes they want to save face, so that the temperament may be relieved, but calm down and think about it, the face cannot find a decent position, so that the temperament can not increase the salary and support the family.
Fortunately, the boss also left you a certain amount of leeway, the position of deputy chief engineer, although it is an idle position in the company, but if you have made achievements in this position, and use the idle position as a platform for the officer, maybe the boss will also be impressed and get the opportunity to reuse.
Although this sentence is an old saying, it still has a certain warning effect on people in the workplace. When I was in the company, I was the assistant to the general manager of the company, and at the same time served as the office director, but because I offended the boss's niece, I stopped serving as the office director and became an empty assistant to the general manager.
However, because I am still in charge of the leader, it can actually be understood that I have reduced the pressure of engaging in specific work, and in fact, I am still the first person responsible for the quality of office work. Later, the boss saw that I was still in the smallest detail. So I thought of another way to cancel all the assistant general managers of the company and change them into several centers, and all the original general assistants were changed to the general managers of the center.
Although I am also the general manager of the center, I am not the general manager of the administrative center, but the general manager of the corporate culture center. The corporate culture center is the center with the least real power, ranking last among the top ten centers, mainly in charge of party building, corporate culture, trade union and youth league committees.
But I did not give up on myself because I was in the idle department, but to do the work that others think is idle, and finally the party building work is advanced in the group every year, the trade union work is the advanced of the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, and the corporate culture has also won a municipal medal.
In the end, the boss had to recognize my work, re-use, and finally became a member of the party committee and the deputy secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. A few years before his retirement, he became a person who could not be replaced by the company, and in desperation, he was rehired by the company for a few years after retirement.
To sum up, according to the situation you described, combined with my personal experience, in fact, all people in the workplace will encounter various obstacles and encounter all kinds of unpleasant things, including promotion or demotion, job rotation, etc. In this situation, obedience is the first priority, unless you don't want to do it, then leaving is the best relief. But leaving is also a prepared departure, if you don't find a suitable position or a better position, don't talk about leaving.
