time flies. i had been with my company for 3 years 1 apr 2016. it had been an intense 3 years considering the many restructuring that occurred particularly during the first 2 years, the many changes to the top leadership and now the impending announcements of new changes. at the department-level, i had served 5 heads of departments and it was certainly not easy given the differences in each character that came and went and their emphasis. but on the positive side, i have learned quite a bit of new stuff.
as of now, we are anticipating new changes to the company given the recent acquisition of the company. and naturally, everyone is a little jittery about it. although things seemed calm on the surface, i am aware there are a lot of undercurrents and thoughts about job security. and i say so cos i know a lot of people at a more personal-level and they have spoken to me about such concerns frequently. the challenge for me, however, is to be able to calm them down given my own lack of information. i don't even know if i will be able to hold on to my own job. as for my boss, i personally suspect he is trying to manoeuvre himself out of the company, or at least leave an escape route for himself. at the present moment, he seemed to be pushing away a lot of responsibilities, refusing to sign off things (even urgent ones) and at times, he'd asked us to get the top man to sign off instead, even for very simple things. his inactions often a times lead to delays in decision-making. quite frustrating.
anyway, let's just see how things go. amidst all these changes, i believe there will always be the bright side of things. it is part of change and we'll just have to embrace it and adapt.
