All change

A couple of guys at work are moving on soon – ‘enhanced’ deals that means they play ball in handovers and therefore avoid a quick redundancy and also get more dosh. I made the offers to both, which was hard but karma being what it is I think someone may be making a similar offer to me soon. Ha ha.

We have a new head of unit, the role I’ve filled since the last one left. I haven’t filled the ‘acting’ role with anything like the seriousness or gravitas it needed perhaps. Or maybe a factor of having come up through the ranks rather than as an external appointment – external recruits always seem to have more cred and people start talking to them like the role / dept is a brand new concept (I’ve seen it before when I’ve been the new ‘guru’ – twice in fact). Anyway – probably means my number is up here. Ho hum.
