Change of roles in office is most times dicey... How often have we heard of restructuring done to cut costs, to be more competitive in market, to fill in positions caused by a void left by a senior personnel quitting to further his career interests and the mother of it all is "change in Management Focus"and now these are the allocations, bugets,revised expectations ,endless, this area has got to be our main new focus, performance reviews and so on.
We switch jobs, get interviewed by a senior level manager / VP , who makes it appear that it's going to be great for you and we are this and that and what we expect in your role is that and that and then we join , take on a new role , only to find that the manager who hired you in the first place , who showed you the candy has put in his papers within a month of your joining to find 'his calling'.And then you are wondering , now how that's going to impact you and what are your stakes..., whom are you going to report too, oh shucks man, I am not even in his good books and the crap...
If you have a manager like Bally with whom you have shared a comfortable work relationship and he has been a great motivator for you , and when you lose him to the ' process', it's such a downer...
II has got a lot on her plate...And R&B is the pickle on her plate that she needs or doesn't need now...Moods , situations and roles have changed... As intriguing as always...
