Safe, For Now

Monday came and wasn’t nearly as bad as I had imagined it would be. The new Executive Director came in and talked with each of us telling us to relax that we all still have jobs. I think nearly everyone was nervous coming into the week because with merging the two places, there are duplications in positions. A team of consultants from UGA is supposed to be coming up in a few weeks to take a look at everything from benefits and pensions to job positions, and pretty much everything in between, to determine how to combine everything into the one new entity. I think that will be more likely to be the time when people either get cut or cut back, but I guess only time will tell.

He has asked that everyone provide him with a resume so that he can see what everyone’s skills are and where they could be utilized.  I’ve never made one before, and have actually been wanting to toss one together for some time now.  So this at least gives me that push to make it happen.  It’ll definitely be handy if things end up going south here, or I decide at some point to make a career change.

The worst part so far I think is that even though most of the same people are still here, for now, it feels like starting at a whole new place again.
