Dear Abhi, Sateesh & Asha,
One of the main reason for me to move out was that, they were moving my profile from HR to Marketing, which I looked as a block to my professional career in HR, apart from this I was not sure regarding the financial stability of the organization.
Moreover the work environment was not helpful in learning new things nor employee friendly. The size of the organization when I joined was about 25-26, and in a year there were about 23 of them who resigned. Presently there are about 12 employees in the organization including top management.
The reason my ex-employer didnt want to loose me, was that I had performed far better than others in the team (in terms of generating revenue) but the organization did not have any performance parameters or evaluators.

Hello Chintan,
You should have given all these inputs in your first posting itself.....else you would have run the risk of being misunderstood.
Coming to your issue, there are a few points I would like to highlight...basically looking @ it from different perspectives.
1) Though your interest lies in HR, did you ever realise that you do have a flair in marketing-hadn't it been for your boss's decision? And as you said, you seem to have been effective too...the reason why he didn't want to relieve you.
2) We will be always happy with those WHO WANT US, rather than WHOM WE WANT...this is true in career or life per se--except that you need to be clear on the REASONS why the other person/company wants you-there could be cases where the other side may want to just use you. But based on what you mentioned, I think the reasons why your ex-employer wanted you were :ONE he really trusted you & TWO he was impressed with your performance.
3) In the present situation of recession, I wouldn't blame him in moving you to marketing-expecially when half the people left. In a line, HE WAS BANKING ON YOU to tide over the present tough times. You should have discussed this issue openly with him....telling him that due to the situation you can handle marketing but would like to move back to HR as soon as the situation improves.
4) I am not sure the domain that company was in, but unless it's something totally down-the-tube scenario in that domain-meaning no chance of improving even after the recession is over, financial problems are pretty common all over the industry today. And did you give a thought to-how would your treatment be after the recession/improving of finances? I will bet my last penny on this--it will be great and you could be one of the trusted guys in the whole company, with added responsibilities.
5) You need to have BOTH short-term/immediate goals AS WELL AS long-term goals in life. I won't say I am right, but I do have a hunch that this opportunity that came your way COULD be aiding your long-term goals in some way-where mktg exposure could be a major plus for you. Many times it happens that way Chitan......while we are into the situation, we think: what's the hell is happening. But only later do we realise the 'why' part. Quite a few times, the chance is missed.
Now coming to the question: what to do now?--if this ex-boss was a man of word...basically meaning 'doesn't use people' [you will be the best judge on this], maybe you could consider going back to him and discussing your apprehensions threadbare. Be as plain as you can-after all everyone makes mistakes, but the ones who doesn't hesitate to correct them are the ones who go far in life. At least, give it a shot. The max what could happen is: he will say 'forget it'. I don't want to take you again [this could be possible if you had heated arguments in the recent past]. At least you did what you could.
And if you aren't welcome there, obviously you need to be prepared for the consequences for what you did...however well-meant or unknowingly.
And never ever quit a job...however lousy or whatever be the situation.....BEFORE YOU HAVE ANOTHER IN HAND--easier said than done, since I know HR guys doing it too-which is surprising.

Constantly, this company is doing like this. They are saying some reason for sacking you. Can I go anything legally for getting it.???
