wow, today started out with opening electronic announcement to the company that one of our senior level management members is no longer with us. Putting ofcourse the entire company in a hush around the coffee pot as to why?what happened? who could be next? type atmosphere.
One thing is I know it is not me. But am I cut out for the "corporate hardcore" culture that is starting to express through decisions and lingo in the office. HMMMM......I like to get shit done, I like a good job done, and I also like being in control. Maybe I am cut out for it but at the end of 25 years will I reflect back and be glad that those attributes are what I posses? I don't know, I have no clue, and I don't expect an answer.
I stay where I am because I am damn good at what I do, the people are great, and the company has had a wholesome family type environment where if you had to leave early one day to take Suzie or Johnnie to the doctor or see their school play that was a totally acceptable reason for skipping out early. I like that.
Time to reflect and decide what is important to me when I am 55! Will you still love me, will you still need me when I'm 65? I was just bored there so typed that in. CIAO!

There was a day a few years ago at my company where they let go over a hundred people. It wasn't downsizing, either. Just that many people that needed to be let go. Crazy business, that.
It's still an absolutely horrible feeling.
