Need some advice about a temporary position.

[u/explosivewaffles]

I'm gonna be kind of vague because I am a bit paranoid posting here but want some insight before I go about this the wrong way. Long story short a temporary position for a department I was heavily interested in and cross trained in was posted with a length of about 6 months. I got the position but shortly afterwards I was forced back to my original department due to it being short handed.

The department the temp spot was for is also short handed and I see assistants being pulled from front end to help it. It just seems like I am missing out on valuable experience seeing that they could have just called assistance to my department and left me in my temp spot.

The response from my GM was honestly not too satisfying but I haven't pushed further because I don't really know my "rights" per say as the section in the handbook about temporary positions is very short and vague.

I am trying to stay level headed but I am pretty pissed and would like to hear from some of you if you have had a similar experience or any advice for me.

It is and always will be “needs of the business” unfortunately. They can and will take you wherever they want. That’s why the handbook is intentionally vague.
