Peaches,

Unfortunately, as I noted in my first post in this thread, this individual has  never participated in this workstream, so there is no "change" to be faced or managed.

She has also never pursued her lack of participation, eventhough she now alleges that she "always" wanted to, but was refused by her line manager.  As this individual is fairly robust in other avenues of communication, I don't buy that story.

In common with most companies, we have established channels through which to pursue any grievances or difficulties, so one just has to ask "Why?" and "Why now?"

Apparently, when someone else (the part-timer I mentioned) did the work, my colleague did not raise any objections.  It has only become important now. This is not a case of "I want to do this".  It is a case of "I want to do this work because I stand to lose ground in the re-structuring of the company and after six years in the company I have just woken up to that fact.  So I want it because it's on my job description even though I've been happy so far for other people to do the work." 

I think most of us here on DD, at least those with any seniority in their companies, would have been on the case straight away if we were not fulfilling our remits.
