This sounds like new management's approach to "culling the herds". I
can't understand why there's be a switch from java to php all of a
sudden. Existing customers or applications need support. While java is
100% object oriented, php is more procedural. You can use a
oo-framework (maybe that's what symfony2 is?) but unless you know the
language and use php, that won't help.
Expectations on when you'll be up-to-speed and be able to take on
projects is also a concern. If they need php expertise RIGHT NOW, why
not hire someone good. And train the java people to bring everyone up
to speed.
I'd start cracking the books AND update your resume. It may be time to
move on.
