Swept Away

In the middle of what has to be one of the most challenging and difficult things I have done I seem to have lost my job.

As a direct report I wasn’t so lucky and now I’m left with the stress of trying to find a new “home” on top of the daily trials of this project.

The timing of the announcement couldn’t have been more ironic. We’d met for the presentation of my 10 years service watch. I thought it showed an unusual amount of forethought that it was brought into the office in a gold gift bag. I wasn’t surprised that it, like current hopes, was taken back out of the office as my manager departed….
