    Choose your battles. Thank God you have a job! If you like the location where you work, deal with it. If not, join the job search with the rest of us 200,000 people.

    Does the position description list the training of new employees? If so, do so to the best of your ability. The real question is why you haven't moved into a management position after 16 years. I would ask to meet with the new manager and frankly ask why you were demoted and if you aren't a shift lead, what behaviors can you change to show them you're shift lead material. There must be a reason. If they cannot give you specific behaviors to help you improve your performance, perhaps they are trying to keep wages down and the best way to do that, even though it isn't right, is demoting higher wage employees to lower paying positions, especially in the service industry. This is my opinion only, based on what Ive both seen and been told to do by upper management in my experiences.

    That’s good advice from Robin on seeing how you may be able to improve. Once you have that information, you may want to consider using it in a new location to get a fresh start. If they’ve already decided you’re not management material, they may not be willing to acknowledge any growth you show. Fortunately, there are many jobs in your field and you may be able to get hired as a manager to start.

    Get the feedback first, it may be valuable. Receive it graciously and thank them for it, even if you feel defensive at the moment.

    Don’t leave until you have another job and leave graciously, don’t burn bridges; you may need references later.

    In many fields, the only way to get a raise or be compensated fairly is to switch companies. That’s our reality today.
