Friday I was told that I would no longer have a job as of the end of the year. That I, among quite a few others, would be the ones effected by the sale of the company. My boss told me that I'd be taken care of and that he had no doubt in my mind that I'd find something bigger and better and that he'd help as much as he could. It upset me of course, because after working here for 16 years, why wouldn't it. The people here are like family to me.
Monday, I was told by the same boss that told me on Friday that I wouldn't have a job that he "might have jumped the gun." Let me start by saying, that I didn't sleep all weekend, I worried, pondered, got angry, got depressed and then finally accepted the fact that i wouldn't have a job. So to hear him say that he "might have jumped the gun" upset me even more. He said that my other boss (the only one that will be staying) would have a position for me, basically doing the same thing i'm doing now, just not working for the 'top' executives.
So then i'm wondering.. what the hell...am I going to have a job or not?
So of course, they don't announce anything to the employees on Monday like they promised and the tension kept getting worse and worse.
Tuesday, my big boss (the CEO), calls me into his office and tells me everything that is going to happen with the company. And then he told me that I would indeed still have a job. He and I had a long discussion about this situation. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm happy that I won't have to worry about not having a job in the very near future or even by the end of the year, but I'm not so sure that i'll be able to work and report to the boss that i'll have left. Now, I love him to death, he's an awesome person, but he's NOT a very good at managing his employees and his tasks. The other thing that the CEO told me was that had he been staying with the company, that he probably would have been starting a search to replace my other boss (who i will be here working for). Hmmmm, now that throws up red flags too.
Why does everything have to be so freaking complicated?
There are about 15 people who will be effected, whos jobs will be moved up North and will be gone from this company probably by the end of the year. That is a lot of people. That's part of my family. The company that bought us will be compensating them well.
Then in the meeting yesterday, there was made mention that maybe we would have an 'office manager' at this location. I didn't really think anything of that fact until later when one of the guys that I work with said "Sandy should be the office manager." And you know what.....I should! That's pretty much what i'm doing now. So just more to worry about and think about.
I still have a job...so why do I still feel so UP IN THE AIR??
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not feeling well today. Got a stupid cold. I hate colds. Who gave it to me? Sam, did you give me your germs?
Okies, gonna get to work.....at least pretend to get to work anyway.
Sorry that I have been so vague lately about what is going on. With everything being so "confidential" these days, I can't be too careful at all.
