Recently Promoted - Possible to revert to old position

    I have made a massive mistake.


    Was a CO for 5 plus years, recently promoted through an open competition into a new department. It’s nothing like I thought it would be like, I’m sick to my stomach.


    Is it possible to go back to my old grade/department?

    Any advice would be much appreciated, I’m in a very dark place here.

    Yes, grade reversion is very much a thing during the probation process and I've heard of it happening in cases where the person went back to their previous department.

    I'm not sure how it's triggered, but I imagine that talking to HR would be involved.

    Yes - it actually happened where i work - she actually got to revert it after about 5 months in new role - i think both parties have to agree to it

    i mean technically if you don’t pass probation then you get reverted back so id assume your able to just ask. Failing that you could stop working for a few months haha
