Today, I get called on the old video phone and told that I'm being transferred from the division in which I've worked for 10 years straight and have developed a reputation of hard work, and seriousness to another one reporting across the country on another coast to someone I've never met. I'll have lost the reputation I have. All the knowledge I have, is gone now, and I'm going onto an established team where everyone knows the ropes and routine and I'm expected to already know this from my previous role where I got by through hard work not through real knowledge. I'm scared man. And I'm uncertain of myself. People are going to know I'm a fraud finally. I don't even know what to do.
Hi swimmingly. That major change does sound stressful. Will you have to eventually relocate, or just report to others that are across the country?

Maybe that new department needs a person with your skill base and hard work ethic. Perhaps they specifically need a person like you because they're missing someone with your skills, experience and talent. I can understand the anxiety about needing to learn new things, but you can also teach some.
