The month that was...

I can honestly say that life is not dull at the moment. In the last month I:

• Have been in a temporary manager role but...


• Was told all our jobs are redundant


• Received great feedback about leading the team but...


• Heard a comment that if I didn't really want to be a manager I shouldn't have been given the temporary role


• Was awarded one of the company's top performance ratings but...


• Learned that we would all have to apply for newly created roles


• Didn't receive any positive encouragement to apply for the new roles but...


• Was scouted out by another group in the company to see if I would be interested in joining them


• Realised that because of the award I may be nominated for an overseas trip but...


• If I rollover to the other group I would no longer be eligible for the trip.
  


• Will be presented with an award at the annual company awards night but...


• No one from my group, including myself, is attending so it will be uncollected


• Heard that a senior manager wanted to talk to me about why I wanted to move to another group but...


• Found out that he was then told to 'go and reflect on why he felt he needed to do that'

I'm hoping that September will be a little less exciting...
