Employees may be interested in changing jobs because of career advancement, job lateral movements, or career development. Sometimes, the change is not mutually acceptable and the employee doesn't want to negotiate with his or her current employer. These situations are when it's best to discuss your strengths with your new boss. They might be willing and able to assist you in finding a better job.
There are many job opportunities that change for promotion, reclassification and career development.
Reclassification is when an employee moves between different positions in the same department or organization. This can often lead to a new 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. In order to increase responsibilities, upward reclassification is considered an increase. While downward reclassification is considered a decrease in duties. A move to the same job title and department within another organization is called lateral.
You can move up the career ladder by making lateral moves. Your former boss will still be your boss, but your new job will likely give you a new line in responsibility and pay scale. You may find it easier to overcome boredom by lateral moves. The company should be able to offer you a job with the same title, pay scale and salary as your current one.
Changes might not be accepted by employees
You can request changes to your contract, if necessary. You have the right to refuse to accept changes verbally or in writing. The employer should be able to explain why the changes were made and that they are temporary. If you do not take action, it could be interpreted as you agreeing to the terms and conditions. In such a case, you should consult your employment contract carefully before accepting any changes.
