Comment The Transfer from Tech to Admin (Score 1) 410
I made the switch. I went from the manager of a tech support desk to what was promised to be more of an administrative role.
I was layed off 3 months later.
I advise against it. In my opinion, they've probably decided you make too much money (what happened in my case), so they're going to pass off your duties to someone who makes less. Then they can eliminate your new position and tout it to upper-management as an extraneous position and a cost saving measure, thus screwing you without kissing you first. No reach-arounds either.
Good luck on that.
