What to do when your boss puts your career at risk

 

A new manager joined my company about a year ago and he appreciated my efforts. However, he kept asking me when I would take a step up, as he thought I wasn’t really appreciated or being delegated to wisely. Later on, he requested to have me promoted up two levels. I didn’t get the promotion and he was disappointed. He bad-mouthed the company and told me to resign to threaten my director into promoting me. I refused to resign and lost his trust, which resulted in me being withdrawn from my core duties. I’m now assigned to “coach” three senior managers with the title of executive. What can I do?
