Last Day at The Shop
Friday, April 6th, 2018
Today was my last day at the Shop. I was excited about leaving, but Management in IT did some Spring Cleaning and several of us found that we were dust bunnies in the process. I've spent the last two weeks transitioning all the work I've done to others that are staying, but in truth, that meant a couple of meetings because the transition was rather poorly planned. Their choice.
I'll get a nice severance out of this, and that's nice, and in truth, it was probably the best thing for me at this time... over the last several months I've been feeling that there's been an axe hanging over my head, and I even emailed the CEO on Christmas to ask if that's the case, then maybe we needed to make a transition plan to move me out.
His response was "No, you're just what we need!" and from that, I assumed that things were stable. That would be a poor assumption.
So, today is it. Nearly 3 years at the Shop, and now it's time to find a new place. The search continues.
