Is there a risk that you're in the role as a potential seat warmer until a more suitable *cough cough ahem* candidate of the *cough cough ahem* right criteria is found? After all, it's only a contractual assignment, no matter how the GLC aims to sugarcoat it.

Possible but, they have been outsourcing the position for about 3-4 years now I guess they would’ve put in possible possible ppl if they wanted. But they’ve decided to establish a in house team moving forward. Hopefully I’m not just here to establish the team and kicked out 😅

You know best bro. You have my best wishes on your potential new endeavour and I wish you every success!

With the GLC, it is likely that you as a type-C will face difficulties in setting up the new department and lead employees of a different culture, values, and attitudes.

The GLC management will have high expectations of you, and if your subordinates/other employees complain/gossip about you... you might find yourself in a difficult situation in terms of adapting to the new role/culture + managing people who are different from you.

This is a valid concern, and I would suggest you to talk to your hiring manager to gain his/her perspectives.

whats type C ... ?

The term 'Type C' has been trending on social media after a local fast food restaurant used the term to refer to Chinese Malaysians in their racist post.
