Reorg

I heard some whispers from my officemates regarding a change in management asignments. One of the items they were talking about was about having a new division completely focused on training. When my boss and I talked later today, she told me that there were changes that I needed to know but that the timing was not right. When I told her that I already heard the whispers she spilled the whole story.

I will have a new direct report manager since it is but logical that I go with the other division. They have not told others yet since the director has not yet made the big announcement. There are several more major changes and what I know only refers to the one that directly affects me.

I'm okay with my new manager since I have been working with him on a particular project and I know how to deal with him. He is pretty generous and we are more like minded compared to my current boss. It's just that I have a certain attachment with my current boss since she was my first boss. She offered me this job and took me in with utmost confidence in my abilities. After she broke the news to me this afternoon, she told me that she will still be there for me as a coach should I need her.

Here's hoping that things will be all right when the reorganization gets finalized. Maybe my apprehensions about having to sell my expertise will dissipate as this mandate is now much clearer.
