Hearing and Not Believing

Today was an interesting day. On Monday, we had a meeting called for today at which attendance was required. They even flew in team members from Denver and St. George, UT. If you've ever been part of a large corporation, you know that rarely signals good news. I decided, based on the lack of hallway scuttlebutt, that it was probably a reorg as opposed to a layoff. I was right.

Well, I was wrong, too. They decided to eliminate all of the Project Management Office's (PMO) jobs as of September 17. However, we are free to apply and be interviewed for jobs in the new PMO if we want. That way, the company is on stronger legal grounds no matter what each of us individually decide.

I am going to apply. After all, they haven't finished hiring me anyway. I've got nothing to lose.

Man, I heard it but could not believe it. It's like Yogi Berra said, "Deja vu all over again."

Well, this should bring a smile to your face. It's Sleeping Beauty Castle when it was still tall and more interesting, back in the mid-1980s.
