forced leave from rotational program / advice?
hello! i'm one year into my first rotation in a rotational program as an engineer in a field i hope to stay in for the long term. i'm supposed to rotate into a new department at the end of the year, but just got notice that my leadership plans to keep me where i am indefinitely (don't think i was supposed to know this, but i've been guessing it based on vibes for about a month now).
i really, really dislike my current work allocation and the only reason i agreed to start this project 6 months ago was knowing that it could only last, at most, until the end of the year because of the rotation that is delegated to me in my role title. this project is notoriously awful.
my manager framed it as basically 'at least they trust you enough to do very important work at such a young level' as a silver lining because i am very capable, but ultimately, i feel lied to as the reason i chose to take this job was due to the industry exposure i'd get with rotating between departments.
i feel like my hands are tied. if i say yes, i continue to work on a project i hate indefinitely and might end up leaving the division/company anyway due to resentment. if i say no and fight to stay in the rotational program, i feel like my leadership will look poorly on me for standing up to myself instead of caving to business needs. i feel like either way i go, i am somehow making the wrong move, stunting my career development, and sabotaging my relationship with my company.
does anyone have any advice?? i'm pretty upset over this and no one i know has any advice. thank you!!
