<prompt> Human: I started at this company about 8 months ago. Ever since I started working here I was gunning for a team lead position and I had consitently been at the top of any measurable metric they had for the past 4-5 months. At my 6 month mark, they offered me a great opportunity: Opening up an entirely new department of the company. They had been really impressed with my work and I had been talking with other execs of the company wanting to bring me to their teams. Its an excellent opportunity for sure, and it has a lot of potential. Only problem is that it makes me miserable. I absolutely loved what I was doing in my old position - actually looking forward to come to work every day. Now, it takes every bit of effort inside me to get out of bed and come to work. Im unhappy. How can I tell my superiors that this new role isnt for me, but not jeopardize any other opportunities for advancement later on?  <response>: You dont really offer enough details to understand what to do. Its not clear whats making you unhappy or why your initial goal of being a team lead would have made you happier. As someone who works in a management role and who employs other people to do work, I know that work is not primarily for the purpose of bringing about employees happiness. Employee morale is important and that includes a positive, enabling workplace environment as well as suitability - goodness of fit - between the job description and the employee who fills it.Since your department is new, the positive, enabling workplace environment needs to be built from scratch, and the goodness of fit between workers and their roles has to be constantly evaluated. Since you are opening up the new department it sounds like these things are your responsibility. Addressing them proactively might be a better option than simply jumping ship, as it might get your own personal needs met and it will avoid your passing the buck to the next person recruited to do what youre supposed to be doing now.
