If you were demoted at your workplace, how would you handle it? Would you quit or just face it and boss on?
It’s difficult to walk into the same office with the same people, knowing you’ll now be left out of the same projects you once spearheaded, perhaps even making less money. But, this could be a positive thing! You may now have more time with less responsibilities. If there is a new role or position you’ve wanted to seek out but couldn’t because of the pressures and duties you faced at work? Now is the time. Step back from the anger and refuel yourself with thoughts of professional growth, change, and positivity. Remember: each job is always temporary. Also, failures sometimes become the catalyst for something better that you just can’t see right now.
Depending upon the cause and validity of the decision you can do different things. If the demotion was for legitimate reasons, the chances of you getting ahead in this company are slim. Best option is to leave and find another place. But, cover the weakness that led to this demotion. If you think it was because they brought in a higher caliber person over you then it is not really a demotion but you feel that way, you should learn from this person. By your total support this person will feel obligated to train you for higher things.
