Hello Healdida,
You have received good suggestions. Since you are a brilliant manager in the company, you may like to explore further options within this company to be more innovative and indispensable. Also, you need not beg them; however, you can give your suggestions for additional responsibilities for which you need to explore yourself. Suggest some better ways of improvement in the company's profits.
Simultaneously, you may explore options outside the company as well in some startups wherein even if you have to sacrifice some minor tolerable part of your current emoluments, you may still stand to gain. Focus should be on continuous learning and improvement in professionalism in the chosen field.
Best wishes,

This situation is not new to the corporate world. Maybe your usefulness has lapsed in the opinion of the decision-makers who may feel that they can conduct their business without your involvement.
"Working Yourself Out Of A Job" is something you will have to take in your stride. I will give you one useful "mantra" – when you have been made to feel unwanted, it is best to explore other options and move out before your employers ask you to. I am afraid resorting to legal options is not a very good idea.

Every 'accident' creates an 'opportunity'. If one door is shut, another door opens up. Don't lose heart. Prepare a nice CV, incorporating all your achievements and accomplishments in the present company, and post it on job portals. If you are really meritorious, I am sure you will land in a better job very soon. Instead of being thrown out, you can submit your resignation and walk out! Who knows, you may end up in a better job than where you are now. You can choose a company where your performance is recognized, and your efforts are appreciated. They may regret your absence sooner rather than later. Best wishes.

Hello Healdida,
I am absolutely with NK Sundaram when he says: 'If one door is shut, another door opens up.'
I recollect a quote by Alexander Graham Bell (the inventor of the telephone) that I think I have mentioned earlier in CiteHR with respect to some other threads: "When one door closes, He opens other doors--but we so often keep staring at the closed door that we fail to notice the ones that He opened for us"--the key word being 'doors'--in plural.
Hope you get the point.
All the best.

While appreciating others' opinions and suggestions, I tend to feel that Vasant has hit the nail on the head.
It is a common tendency of small and new Indian companies to hire a key resource at any salary asked, exploit his skills to the hilt, and once his utility is over and others can take over, to discard the resource who helped in setting up everything.
We have come across many such cases in this forum, wherein sometimes a new, fresh HR, who is not aware of the past performance of the person, is given the task of firing such individuals.
Sometimes they will put the blame on the "attitude" of the person, as it's difficult to find performance issues in such situations.
Since it is difficult to change or control the world, it would be more appropriate if one considers changing one's own thinking and priorities for action.
One should consider his role as a specialist who is able to command such a high salary in the initial stages. Once he sees his utility on the wane or his targets and tasks being accomplished, he should start looking for other opportunities before the company asks him to leave.
One should remember that even an innovator like Steve Jobs was forced to leave Apple, the company he co-founded!
Warm regards.

More often than not, shrewd Managements use fresh HR shoulders for keeping the gun and firing troublesome employees !

Dear Healdida,
One of the best threads I have ever come across in my life. Wonderful suggestions posted by experts, and it's really worth reading again and again.
I wish not to repeat the same. If you are aware of your caliber and competencies, move ahead in your life rather than considering this as a threat to your current role. Don't give up. Given an opportunity, I am sure you can do better than expected. Time is the best healer, and no one knows what may happen next, but for sure, good things will happen with good people. This is just turbulence. Consider this as your examination period, and you need to score the maximum. Maybe a good opportunity is waiting for you somewhere else. Just be positive and please maintain a healthy relationship with your management. Never let them feel your weakness. Please don't speak or discuss anything with them unless they initiate it. Your loyalty will be rewarded by the ALMIGHTY. Please be honest and sincere, the way you were and are. Later, they may drop their plans due to your KIND ATTITUDE (GOODNESS).
Last but not least, please do not give preference to money in your life. Understand your requirements and live a contented life rather than seeking more challenging assignments, which may not meet your health conditions as age is also one of the performance factors.
Good Luck.
With profound regards

Hi,
In today's world, there is no permanent job in any company. It's commendable that you gave your best to the company to establish a presence in the market, but at the same time, your skills are also being polished.
Once the image deteriorates at the management level, a significant effort is required to rebuild it. In today's scenario, the competition for skills, knowledge, and qualifications is intense. It's advisable to explore opportunities to move up and consider trying a job in another company where you can fully utilize your skills.
Best of luck to you...
