Daughter, always upset about way of working, transferred (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

removed

'transferred' is the definition.
(removing is a kind of transferring)

'daughter always upset about way of working' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'always' becomes 'ever' (synonyms).
'upset' says the letters should be written backwards.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'way of working' becomes 'mo' (I've seen this in other clues).
'd'+'ever'='dever'
'dever' in reverse letter order is 'reved'.
'reved' enclosing 'mo' is 'REMOVED'.

(Other definitions for removed that I've seen before include "Withdrawn" , "Taken away" , "Took away" , "Having made a withdrawal" , "Got rid of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
