I can’t believe we are 1/12th of the way
round to another Christmas. Hardly worth putting the decorations away really, it’ll
be here before you know it.
Only a week left in January, so only a month and a
week left before I leave my job. It still feels like its a lifetime away. Psychologically
I’ve already left, so it’s a real struggle to motivate myself to keep doing
what I’m supposed to in my current position. Don’t get me wrong – I am being
professional and continuing with my allotted tasks, but I’m doing them with
minimal effort and with no real concern about how they turn out. It shows you
how ridiculous a three-month notice period is. No company is going to get the
best efforts from an employee when they’re just counting down to the day they
start their new job. I suppose the idea is that you spend that three months
training up your successor so there’s a nice transition period and someone to
take over, but that isn’t happening here. Those Above Me don’t seem to have
decided whether they’ll replace me or not. The job certainly hasn’t been
advertised anywhere, either internally within the company or on any external
jobsites, as far as I can see. My teams
keep asking me what is going to happen in March, and I can’t tell them because
I don’t know. Apart from a chat with my immediate superior, which was part of a
pre-scheduled regular visit anyway, I have had Zero Contact with anyone ‘up the
ladder’. It’s a shame and it’s a shitty way to deal with people, (not me, I
mean the people who’ll still be here after I’m gone) but it’s not my concern, I
guess.
