Bad news today on the work front. I am getting really tired of the rollercoaster that is Acme’s reorganization fetish. We *thought* we knew what we were doing after our business unit leader switched business units and took L and I with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, after a week of settling in and planning work schedules, we found out that Bob is not going to be able to keep us in his business unit. It isn’t Bob’s fault, he clearly didn’t find out for sure until earlier in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bottom line: We have an interview on Tuesday with another business unit leader in a different part of the company (I would say a different “division” but that is a word we aren’t allowed to use at Acme) who would like to integrate us into his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’ll be “Services” instead of “Alliances” which means a more customer-centric, contracting kind of role than the generic development and support role we’ve been doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s hope it works out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, we had the interview with our new business unit leader yesterday. Seemed to go ok, because later on we got contacted by the Acme-equivalent of human resources to facilitate the transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So it goes… one year ago we changed business unit leaders, right during the associate review period – so we end up being reviewed by one leader and discussing the future with another. It’s going to happen again this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll be working on a project with a deadline at the end of July, and we have to go to Chicago for three days at the end of next week. This is a pain, because it’s right at the end of the time that Derek and Teresa are staying with us. We figured something out – they’ll spend a night with Stan and Jeanne and Stan will take them to the airport the following day. We will have flown out the previous day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
