Corporate Shuffle

I don't expect the universe to remain constant. I expect change. But this doesn't mean I have to like change.

I started with my current company almost 2 years ago. Within my first 6 months, my supervisor resigned and my enitre department restructured. One year later, it was announced that my department was to be completely outsourced.

I applied for another job within the same company rather than become an employee of an out-of-state firm. I got the position and have been happier in my new position.

Within 2 months, my new department completely restructured. Naturally, I experienced deja-vu. I changed managers and was moved to a new cubicle. Of course, it is hardly discernable that I have a different manager, since I rarely speak to my new manager, but always am fulfilling requests for my previous manager.

Today, it was announced that my supervisor is shifting to another part of my department (yeah, we are a little middle-management heavy; I have a supervisor, a manager, and a director). Another member of my team will be my new supervisor. I don't "warm up" too quickly in the workplace. It takes me a while to build a working relationship with my co-workers. So, 6 months of progress is now shot all to hell.

I am supposed to leave on vacation for the week of Labor Day. There are several "critical" items on my radar that have to be resolved prior to my leaving. They won't be solved. I will return to a state of chaos and blame.

Yes, I am complaining. Yes, I should try harder to adapt to change. But I still don't like it.

Fuck it. I'm getting a doughnut.
