OK, let's get the sad news out of the
way. The company I work for has decided to eliminate an entire layer
of middle management. Yes it's sad because of the people it will
hurt. Some of you may remember a few years ago when I was being
encouraged/pushed to take on this same position. I didn't take it
because in my heart I knew when times got tough the middle layer of fat
would be sucked out. I was right. I would rather be a worker bee and
have a job! It is sad, but I am so happy I did not jump at the chance
to get on the "leadership" bandwagon.
For the good news--we hit our release date and it looks like my vacation is going to happen. One more day and then I'm off for a week. Work is good and more work on the way. We've got new clients and the only thing that's slowing us down is some of our clients are being slow in signing off on Statements of Work. But, it's all good.
Enjoy your day, my friends!

darn, I just typed a comment and it disappeared right before my eyes!
I was saying, I'm sorry to hear about those job losses and glad that you listened to that small voice inside. Our work has been slowing down and I'm glad we listened to our small voice, too, and didn't buy that house.
Glad you'll be able to take your vacation when you wanted to!
Have a good day!

I think we will hear a lot more of folks being laid off with this economy. Sad. Have some fun on your vacation. Dawn
