RN supervisor put on LPN med cart, feels disrespected

So....as a CRRN with over 20+ years experience from floor nursing to D.O.N., I would like to know how it is that when hired as a supervisor you are placed on a medication cart for LPN, and moved from one unit to another, one med cart to another. There have been 4 days training as RN supervisor and 3 days training on medication cart for LPN. I am very confused. How is this appropriate? They higher you as a RN Supervisor then place you at LPN position and allow the nursing Supervisors their to continue working as supervisor without rotation on medication cart? Something feels wrong about all of this. There is an A.D.O.N and a D.O.N in the facility that are never seen and nowhere to be found. Both young. Can you help me to rationalize these processes in my mind. 2.5 years to retirement, thinking maybe need to do so earlier, but I still LOVE nursing. Just don't like the politics and entitlement noted observed over last 5 years or so.
