I am currently working in my new job for the last 3 months.

when I started, I had a team leader from the integration team that was in-line with me regarding my goals and helped me to make a strategic plan of how to reach them.

The department manager decided that one of the local team should be the team leader and i feel like he doesn't train me, and my goals are pushed a side.

I have tried to speak about it with the manager and he didn't give me a proper solution ("that is my decision and that is the way it is going to be")

It may be me, but I'm confused by your post. Can you provide more specifics and what your question is so we can better support you?

Its not just you, this post is choppy and difficult to follow.

Unfortunately things like this happen in companies. Unfortunately when reporting structures shift, priorities change, and sadly folks like us get left behind.
Is this a situation where you can stick with it for a while, gain some experience and skills and move on to another company? There's honestly no way to guarantee this would never happen anywhere else, but you can still make progress on your own goals even without their support.
Keep pushing the newer team lead, ask for the support you want. Document the interactions, and bring it to the manager again. Sometimes you need to keep pushing.

From I am reading it sounds like your team lead who helped and trained you was changed to one who does not , and your manager is not helping ?Have you spoken to the new team lead ? Asked about more training ? I think by reading your post you have your goals mapped out already so you have that , with the new team lead I would talk about the training you need and see what their expectations are training is a two way street maybe you don’t understand each other , it can be very difficult when a team lead/ trainer is changed for them as well different styles of training. Different experience levels and is it possible to speak with the old line manager about it ? Ask for guidance . Try to patient it’s a marathon not a sprint give yourself time to learn

not every team lead has the same goals,,, nor does every team lead work towards your avancement. most smaller companies there realy is a limitt o how mnay people get promoted. At a certain point you have to accept ,they are happy with you not movig forward or doing more training.

You can still reach your goals even if your direct manager is not on board 100%. There is a workaround for everything. Here's my link if you want to get on a consult call and talk it through with me ! https://maeganmillercoaching.as.me/consultcall
