Ok...so things at work are still awkward. Another TL congratulated me and when I asked "What for?" they stammered and made up something. We were both embarrassed. The TL that first said something to me asked me if "they" had said anything to me yet. Then another TL came up and said yes they told all them in the meeting. I asked if they were asked not to tell me and they said absolutely not. They just can't understand why no one has told me. This is freaking me out. I never asked any one about being a brand TM. I don't really know if I want to work in the area involved. Even if I wanted to, I'm honestly not sure I even could do it.
I probably sound ridiculous to those of you deciding about accepting higher positions but all this is very important to me. I don't want to disappoint any one or let anyone down. Isn't this a strange way to handle this?
