for those of you who bother to pay attention to whether or not I'm actually online... you'll have noticed that i didn't show up at my desk til about 10am. well, thats because as soon as i showed up for work this morning, i was immediately embroiled in another one of those management sanctioned activities that preclude the actual accomplishment of anything work related (read: staff meeting).
This was a meeting like none i've ever attended before. Management was actually HONEST with us :O they gave a clear and concise picture of what was going on, and! oh boy get this! they LISTENED to what we had to say! I have never been more pleasantly surprised about something work related before! AND omg... management basically flat out told us that, in the previous meeting we had with some of the re-org planners, we had been flat out lied to about several situations. namely the situation about the possibility of people having to reapply for their jobs -- they were specific about what levels within the organization would have to worry about that too! WOW!
well yeah, i had to share, cuz well, no one here understands how rare of an event this all was, and are thus very unappreciative of my exuberance. but you guys, i know you guys will get it :)
Umm... isn't "Management and honest" an oxymoron? :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope that it's good news for you personally!
Where can I get what management has been taking? I'd like to give a healthy dose to our Management Team.
Peace and Lux

ReplyDeletei think the difference is this is a different section of management, the ones who actually work right along side those of us front line grunts who take all the fire. one of said management is actually suffering the "you must reapply for your own job" and said so freely, voice and facial expression full of bitterness and hatred. i am finally confident that there is at least one person in management here that understands my personal plight, and will fight to get me the help i need... the only problem is, he might not be around for much longer.
oh sister mine~
um, that party on saturday wont be a conflict because we're showing up saturday morning. and dont feel bad telling dad you dont want "the ice queen" there. its about darned time he started getting it through his head that he married her, we didnt, therefore we are not required to like her, or spend time with her. not to mention, i wouldnt know how on earth he'd fit all 5 of us in that teensy lil BMW of his, so that might have been a factor... plus "the ice queen" hates my guts (my personal observation) and generally avoids me, so its doubtful she'd be volunteering to cram herself into a car with me for an hour and a half each way, plus a day hanging out on top of it.
gads, this comment is turning into a full blown post... so imma cut it short and write a real one eventually.
