BL00D BATH UPDATE


Well, it's been confirmed by someone who knows for certain that among those whose whacking is imminent, along with most of the rest of marketing. Apparently, they're not even pretending the marketing roles are being eliminated.

The best part is who will be replacing us. My portfolio will be managed by the former head of our test lab. Another aware of will be replaced by the European engineering manager. Neither have any marketing background, whatsoever. Zero...nada...zippo experience.

As noted, the head of the business unit has fuck all idea what marketing does. So, he figures he can throw anyone in the role. Uh, us marketing types do have a rather specialized skill set, Sparky.

Again, I've grown my business % year on year, so performance isn't the issue.

While I would prefer to do it on my own terms, it'll be a relief to get myself clear of the massive shit show. I could feel my skills atrophy, the longer I was there.
However, I'll miss a of my colleagues, with whom I've forged strong relationships. Something about shared adversity will do that to people.

Now, it's down to the when.

The axolotl can regenerate almost any portion of their body (including the brain) as many times as needed, with no scar tissue.

Aren't you glad it's 2021? Because once we turned that calendar page and left 2020....the WORST year EVER!....behind, everything was just fine.

Oh yeah, this year's much better. I thought that fate was done with me after the whole parent situation. Apparently, some other force stepped in and said hold my beer.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear this. You're better off taking your talents elsewhere.... About 10 years ago the company I worked for was bought out and after first telling us nobody was losing their job, a month later we were shut down. Classy! If that hadn't happened, I wouldn't have found my current job, though. Pays more, better benefits, better hours. You sound talented.... The cream of the crop rises to the top.

I love when companies go back on their word. Just posted an update, with a perfect example.

Time will tell whether others appreciate my brilliance
