Following
on from my impromptu and unexpected meeting with Area Management the other
week, I have now been asked to give a presentation at Head Office. They want to
show me off as a shining example of how the new layout they’re doing in East
Anglia is working well. Part of me (my ego) loves it, but the other part of me
thinks ‘Several people lost their jobs in this change around. If I prove it
works, doesn’t that mean MORE people will lose their jobs as well when this
scheme is rolled out? Wouldn’t I be responsible for loads of redundancies???”
So,
yeah – that’s given me something to ponder on the nights when I ain’t sleeping
so well.
The good
news is that it’s not until the New Year. Those Above are too busy
micromanaging December sales opportunities and looking for ways to wring an
extra penny or two out of our already impoverished customers to squeeze it in before
Christmas. There is also then the possibility that, like so many of their
previous ideas and intentions, the whole thing will get lost in its own bureaucracy
and they’ll never find an aligned gap in the schedules of everyone they’d want
to be there. So I’m trying to ignore it until early January, when all I’ll have
to think about will be the upcoming onslaught of Easter Egg promotions and the
small matter of a newborn baby at home.
