I am greatly stressed due to a recent change in positions at work. I understand these things happen but I deep down inside believe that I was changed from my position due to the "higher ups" feeling that a male would be better in that position. I have been in that position for 4 years and now I got changed. I got changed two days after hearing my boss telling two coworkers that "there are some males that feel females shouldn't be in the field." I have done a good job in this position and worked very hard to gain the respect that I have. Although I have been given every excuse from everyone being crosstrained, that I am stressed and its to boost morale, I still believe it was to put a male in my position. I was even told that "maybe i will find my future husband (in my new position)." Also, when I told my boss that I was not stressed, he agreed that he knew I was not stressed and he has not been able to make eye contact with me since he told me about the change in position. I want to know if it seems that there could be gender discrimination and if so what do I do seeing as it was not stated to me directly? If anyone has words of wisdom it would be appreciated. (Also, there were only a handful of us that were moved in the so called "cross training" process.)
