Christmas Holiday Special

You know how when a soap opera is getting ready to close down for the holidays they put in a lot of big dramatic unpleasant events so the the audience will be raring to start watching when it starts up again?

I'm having one.

The restructure fairy has turned up at work and sprinkled her little fairy dust around. They're not reducing head count, but my particular job is one of the ones deemed unnecessary. At this point, I can make a submission about how I think they should do their restructure instead, apply for one of the new jobs being created (seeing some job descriptions would sure be handy for that), wangle a spot elsewhere in Council, or leave. Things could be a lot worse, but yet I'm still feeling very uncertain about the future.

That is the saddest content of a post titled "Christmas Holiday Special" ever. So sorry to hear that you're heading into uncertain waters. Hope things work out well.

The depressing part about what you wrote was that the restructure is meant to reduced head count. So one is left wondering why all the noise and light if the same number of actors will still be appearing next season?

Hope you find a job you enjoy before the dust settles.
