I don't normally post my personal business on the boards, but in this instance, I feel inclined to share.
I was called downstairs yesterday afternoon at about 4PM to meet with my VP and the CFO. They told me that they're outsourcing some functions of the company, and as a result, they'll need less support, because they're eliminating 22 positions. Consequently, my job as a manager is gone effective June 1.
My department consists of 3 people, myself, and 2 that report to me. They're retaining 2 positions, both of which will report directly to the VP. We're having a meeting this afternoon some time to let the rest of my department know. There's a chance that the woman that reports to me will elect to leave instead, as she already lives about 1.5 hours north of work, and we're moving the office further south. If she goes, I get to stay, but I will most likely look anyway, as it doesn't appear that the bleeding is ever going to stop here, and there does not appear to be a great deal of concern for any employee, regardless of how they perform.
The funniest part of all this is that they've been promoting people left and right to middle management positions, even people that have NO ONE reporting to them. It's absolutely ridiculous, and I intend to tell the CFO that. I'm not burning any bridges, but I intend to be politely honest as well.
It could be worse....I could be gone with no notice, no severance, all that, but I really feel betrayed by a company that I've put 3.5 years into. Suffice to say...it stings a little.
In any case, I'm not throwing a pity party here. This isn't the end of the world. I just felt like sharing a little bit, and getting some stuff off my chest.
Oh, and if anyone knows of any IT contacts in the KC area...shoot me a PM.
