I joined as a new grad at Amazon a year ago. I joined a team as a full stack engineer , but due to lack of resources I only got to work on front end work. I have asked my manager several times in the past that I wanted to do backend work. There was a re-org and my manager was changed. The new manager started getting in new hires , and she ended up giving the backend work to the new joinee instead of me , even though the new joinee is interested in the front end work and has mostly front end work experience . Now we have several people within the team who are interested on working with frontend but I keep getting assigned the the front end stuff. My ex boss became my new managers boss . How do I tell my new manager that I want the backend task ? And not sound like a bad person , do I approach my old boss regarding this ? Or it’s better to sort it out with my new manager and if yes how to ?
