Does anyone in the team understand what you bring to the table? Is your contribution key to the team's success? If that's the case then the others could serve as promoters for your case in front of the boss who apparently doesn't see or appreciate this.
But if this is not the case then maybe your current skill set is not a good match to what is currently needed. I don't know, maybe someone else is already covering the things that you say you bring to the table, or the team's activity and goals are just a bad fit for you specifically.

Many managers see this as trying to help you grow, by getting you outside your comfort zone. In the end it's your choice if you want to play along or find a team/boss that makes better use of your contribution.
- throwarayes 4y agoYes, I helped build the team. Many of the colleagues are my friends and best coworkers from past jobs. That’s what makes leaving so hard. I’m being recruited heavily by other internal teams, which helps my mental state right now.
- cntainer 4y agoInteresting, building a team and operating as part of a now stable team ca be different affairs so that might be part of the issue. Anyway, the interest from other teams is a good sign that your skills are still valued elsewhere. Moving on might be the best choice especially if you've been struggling with this for some time.
- ebiester 4y agoGo. Your manager should be encouraging you to do so - it will open up a spot for them to find the right fit for what they're trying to do as well as keep someone valuable to the company.
