Experts say a reassignment is often a good sign and may mean a company wants to keep you.
Challenger told Insider that over the past few years, companies focused on reassigning workers internally because it was hard to find replacements amid the labor shortage.

"Just the act of reassignment does not signal that a company wants you gone," Julia Pollak, the chief economist at ZipRecruiter, told Insider.
Yolanda M. Owens, a career coach who works with platforms like the Muse, told Insider by email that companies can also use reassignments to keep the power dynamics in their favor.
