Surviving The Merge

by Shane Holden – July 17, 2009

If you’ve ever watched Survivor, you’ll recognize the merge of the two tribes, and how that can be the turning point in the reality show for any certain single player. Someone you thought would make it to the end, could then have their easy shot taken from them by being on the tribe with lesser players.

This week, and especially next week at work feels very similar to being on Survivor. We’re going through a “merge” that quite honestly feels like a take over. We’ve already lost two of the most knowledgeable staff that you could ever have, assets to the organization, and will be going in on Monday without knowing at all what to expect. Am I nervous? I am. I know I stand a pretty good chance of being let go, yet I’m not worried about myself. I’m worried for the others, and if there was any way that I could trade myself being safe (if that’s the case) for them to keep someone else instead of me, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

Who knows what all will transpire. I’m just ready for whatever is going to happen to happen, because this is killing my sleeping and my stomach.
