Ok, here's the situation:
I was, at one point, on a team I actually liked working with. In fact, I still sit with them daily.
However, I was rotated to another team, two floors away, working on some stuff I don't care for (while still sitting with my original team). And that team seems a little more disorganized.
The team I was on (Let's call it Team A, the team I like) had a meeting with the manager and lead for Team A. I was included in this meeting by the team lead for Team A and the manager. It was mainly to talk about some upcoming work that was "possible".
However, during this meeting I was on the other team (call it Team B).
Well, Team A had another meeting a couple of weeks ago that I was included in, too. Still emphasizing that there's work to be done, internally, Team A might be reporting to some higher ups, and/or doing work they specifically request (which would possibly be enterprise-level stuff).
Well, these "rotations" are supposed to last 3 months or so each. And I think my manager (not my Team Lead) is somewhat indifferent toward me. I can't tell for sure if he just doesn't like me, but it comes off most of the time as indifference. This is the third time I've been "considered" for a move to a different team, and when I was rotated to Team B, I got the short straw.
Anyway, I find out today from someone on Team A that they're actually getting ready to start on this project that is probably going to be enterprise-level. Which means I probably want to be a part of it, as it's high visibility, and can get me more "recognition", not to mention being a good resume item.
I don't know (and my manager isn't really confirming) how much longer I have on Team B, and I don't really know if I should ask.
I feel a little slighted by this situation. Almost like I was purposefully moved to either miss out on this work entirely, or miss some of it.
So am I actually warranted to feel slighted here? Or am I reading too much into this?
