In which pride goeth before a fall
Oct. 21st, 2017 09:44 pmWhy did I SAY those THINGS? I said the majority of stress for this work-year was over, I said I was heading into a quiet quarter at work. Why did I not take seriously the ominous signs of a) having been happy with my management chain for a whole year and b) the pending promotion, rendering me ripe to be shoved into a new situation by a sardonic universe just when I'm uncomfortable at level?
On Monday I celebrated my 10-year anniversary, on Tuesday I found out one of my middling-senior team members wants to transfer out (okay, I had warning, but it meant I had to spend time starting to recruit), and on Wednesday I found out my director's team is being ripped in half for shitty corporate reasons and I'll have a new grandboss. For the sixth time in just over five years, with another one coming for sure because we're not in a stable place (reporting straight to a VP... for the nonce). Soon I will explain what my team does and why it does it, cross all my fingers and toes that this management chain thinks I'm performing at level, and tell a partially different calibration room why it is that my folks perform at their levels.
Oh! And my sister-in-law is visiting. She arrived the same day that the reorg news broke.
In my grumpiness, I turned the entire universe into paperclips by playing this little browser game. So satisfying. Go ahead, try it... you won't get sucked in or anything.
