Is this normal?
We aren't talking restructuring or downsizing - just something that is getting us on a very good track, and of course it takes a while.
Maybe I am a doormat, or just very patient - having worked on contracts much of my life.
There seems to be much digging in of heels at the change in chain of command...those who approved the changes get p***** because it is not happening yesterday.
Someone's spouse called today - I had just gotten off the phone with our new Operations Manager, and the spouse sounded like the OPs person, so I called them by the manager's name. The spouse said he didn't want to sound like that person, from what they had heard, and he didn't sound nice!
All this gossip going at contractors' homes.
I am going to talk to my boss....but all these wee slings and arrows, and people getting their knickers in a knot because of a feedback questionnaire and that it should have been given BEFORE the big restructuring meeting...and even questioning contracts, which we were told look much more attractive to potential investors if a company like ours that says they HAVE contractors have contracts to prove it!
Thanks for letting me vent. Is all this bitchiness during change normal?
OUCH! I am just letting it go by as much as possible.
Thanks again... :(
