Company Reorganization

Though we have not yet had formal, written communication from our new CEO, we have had private meetings on the subject of reorganization. I think it's really good news. TT will now report to the guy who used to be the GM of our London office, who is moving to NYC in May with his wife.

The Brit is truly a gem. He understands sales, but also the highly technical end of our biz, including computer programming and mathematical models. No way will he let TT in sales run roughshod over the rest of the business, and make it subservient to her own personal bank account objectives. In fact, TT got a bit of a demotion in the process. Client support will no longer report to her. Only sales staff will report to, or through, her.

I continue to report through the guy who originally hired me almost six years ago. We're in "operations." We're technical people. We do the actual work involved in getting a finished product ready for distribution to our clients. We don't get paid for living on the phone or on blackberries. The people who do that will now be reined in. It's a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say.

I cannot believe I started four sentences in a row in that last paragraph with either "we" or "we're." But, so what?

Things are looking up on the job front. It's about time that the sales staff didn't run around selling non-existant products, then coming back to the other 90% of the company, demanding that they be manufactured on a dime.

I predict I will outlast TT at this company. Her tenure is only three months longer than mine.

Whee!
