work update…

October 16th, 2008 Posted in all about me, ramblings

Well, things are getting a bit solemn around here at work. We just had a meeting where we were presented the proposed structure of the new group and the positions/grade levels for each spot. As expected, it’s a bit awkward knowing that I’m competing with my colleagues for the available slots. I guess I should be glad there’s a position that I’m eligible for. Some folks down the hall were told their roles have been completely eliminated and that they’re not in the “candidate pool” for the remaining positions. To add insult to injury, these folks are required to stay here until they get the official notice in December. That truly sucks. But back to the proposed structure for my group – there’s a role that seems tailor made for me so it seems that I’m a shoe-in. But I won’t boast about it or even think it until I see it in black and white. I suppose anything can happen from now until the final decisions in December.

But it’s clearly evident now that some other groups in our building have already been through this process because when I come in to work in the mornings now, the main parking lot, which normally is pretty full when I get there, is now half empty. It’s now a daily reminder of what’s going on in this company at the moment. ugh.

    i’ve been wondering….
    sounds perfectly dreadful.
    this is connected with the current economy, right? it’s not an independent downsizing?

    i don’t understand how you compete though…by who ever does the job best? and the boss tallies up the scores or something?
