Times are a changing

Today I said goodbye to one of my managers, he took the redundancy option. Everyone thought he was a dead cert for staying. That was six guys I know personally that have gone. This time changes at work are real and are going to be painful. An obvious temporary state until all disciplines merge and possible outsource comes.
I'll be staying a little while longer whilst I get things sorted for Sublime. The boss has asked to stay on - but doing the new role will be a second choice. I can see it being rock solid, even through an outsource maneuver. Thing is - if all it's goals are met quickly as planned, governance can always be removed without cost to operations.

We shall see... The meeting is Monday at the council to discuss support for the venture. If it's positive I'll begin to involve the community pillars - the guys who are doing good stuff already that is. Fortunately I know some of these guys and hope I can get them on side and give them an additional point to connect back to the community within my venture. If this is meant to happen like I truly believe it is, it will be great for all folks who make contact.

I upset one of the engineers today - finally said I thought a little more commitment would have helped his situation. He thinks I am getting personal so I've handed him over to discuss it with others above me. Never mind - hope it all works out for him.

Dominik...

He's at his Nans, things have got worse. The defiance of common sense rules that the rest of us live by has got out of hand. I'm not sure he's aware what he's doing. The ball is in his court now - he needs to make that call and ask to return. I'm not sure he will though, I'm not sure it's right sending him away from the issues either. Time will tell.
