But I show up at work this morning around 7:10 and am plugging away for about an hour when an email shows up from HR stating that effective immediately all my reports will now be reporting to another manager in my group. And I am like "oh poop=its a reorg and im getting reduced"
So I reach out to the other manager to see if there is something I should know but apparently this change is a shock to him -so that only makes the dread seep in worse.
Then my boss shows up and she doesn't even go to her desk but is like "I need to see you in a closed door conference room meeting now"
And of course, I am all resigned, this is the moment, there has been a reorg, I'm about to get excessed, riffed, chopped, axed, whatever you want to call it. And of course I was due to go on vacation next week too. I'm Irish so bad luck I know, and apparently I'm due.
So despondent I walk into the conference room to hear my fate and find out how much severance i'll get (its usually a week per year).
And I discover, yes my fear of a reorg is totally right. Things are being shifted and condensed. And as a result of this reorg my current position is gone, and my fate is,....
to be promoted and get a 15% salary increase (back dated to start of June)
.....
so an interesting day : )
and a 15% increase thats a significant change in take home -that's not a token raise
so maybe I will by one of those M1 SoCOms now
and I also realized my bosses are a bit sadistic because they knew this was coming but didn't say a word...
