Seeking perspectives

I am starting a new job and was just notified that my would be boss is taking on some additional responsibilities and I would now be reporting to who would have been my peer who has now been promoted. So essentially, there is another layer in the reporting structure for me. My role and title remains the same, no changes at all. This seems to make sense to me, but is there any negative to this that I am not seeing? I want to make sure that I ask the right questions before that window of time passes! Thank you so much! :)

I wouldn't see this as a negative. This may give you access to a leader that is not overscheduled/unavailable when you are in the fragile space of onboarding into a new organization.

I don't see any negativity here unless there is some context you meant to explain and left out. If anything, it might be positive. If the company continues to expand their hierarchy structure and you perform well, that leadership position could be yours in the next couple of years. But if anything worries your spirit....just pray over it and pray for the exact outcome you want.
