Job lateral moves, career development and promotion are all reasons why an employee may want to change jobs. Sometimes the changes are not mutually agreed upon and employees do not wish to negotiate with their employer. These situations are when it's best to discuss your strengths with your new boss. They might be willing help you to find a better role or may offer to promote you if your strengths are highlighted.
Job opportunities are changing to promote, reclassify, career development, and lateral movements
Reclassification is the process by which an employee changes positions within the same department or organization, often resulting in a different title and job description. Reclassification generally means that the duties of an employee have been re-defined but that they still hold the same job title. An increase in responsibilities is a upward reclassification, while a decrease or decrease in duties is a downward reclassification. On the other hand, lateral moves are a move to the exact same job code or department but within another organization.
Lateral moves are a great way to move up your career ladder. Although you will still report to your boss, your new job may offer you a different line and pay scale. Lateral moves give you new skills and opportunities to prove yourself and may even help you overcome boredom. You may find the right job if the company offers you a different position with the same title pay and salary.
Employees may not agree with the change
If you are concerned about your contract's flexibility, you may have a right to refuse changes. Any changes can be refused by protesting verbally or in writing. Be clear with your employer that the changes are temporary. In some cases, your failure to act may be taken as an acceptance of the new terms. You should always review your employment contract before agreeing to any changes.
