Well the cracks are beginning to show.

More than a week after I was spoken to by my boss, we are no further on.  Several individuals have yet to be spoken to and in the meantime I am being ask to book travel for individuals I don't know.

You would think all those affected would be spoken to on the same day, so changes for everyone would come into play on the same date.  My understanding was that changes were to come into effect from next Monday, now it seems half the company have implemented the changes, while the other half struggle to understand what is going on.

Gee

Sounds about right.  I have direct reports across 2 different buildings (1 in Central London and 1 in Croydon) with 1 building being across 2 different non-consecutive floors.  Am just waiting for some of them to be put onto the first floor then I can run around 3 different floors AND 2 different buildings with at least 30mins  travel between each building!

C'est la vie!  Angry

Great!  I found out yesterday, only by asking, it was originally intended that new re-org changes would come into effect next week, however that looks unlikely now.

Why can't anyone communicate this?  What is the hold up?

Any wonder my boss cannot wait to retire.  I might go with him!

Well the jigsaw is now finally being pieced together, with some changes to be implemented next week.

At least the secretaries now know who they are supporting and where they fit into the overall structure.

That really is crazy the way they are rolling out your changes. I can see why you find it frustrating. Hope they get it all sorted out soon.

Gee,

Who is in charge of all these changes at your place of work.  Sounds like they should be FIRED!  When you reorg, they WHOLE org should get the communication from the CEO down to the janitors (not to put janitors on the end of the list, they provide a much needed service and very important roles).  Communication is lacking here.  You need to find out through the grapevine who you are supporting?  It is assine.

Yep I hear ya, preaching to the choir here! Cheesy

I asked my boss if the information would be cascaded down through the teams and he assures me all will be done by Friday.

And then of course all hell will break loose trying to get bums on seats on Monday morning.  Thankfully bossie and I are staying put until the end of the month.  Three weeks to so, retirement do to organise, collection to sort, pressie to buy and I still have to pack up and move! Shocked

I was in a similar situatation about 10-years ago.  Been with the company 20+ years.  No communication.  I left for better pastures.  I really feel for you.  You spend a 1/3 of your life working, another 1/3 sleeping, and hopefully 1/3 with friends and family.  But it is 1/3 working, that drives you.  Why is that?  Because you care about the people you work with, love the job, etc. Who knows what drives us to stay at a crazy situation

Well while I was off on Fri an email was circulated from HR confirming new secretarial reporting duties.

From the feedback HR have provided, or not provided, it's clear my new boss and I need to sit down and finalise the details and discuss the way ahead.

We have scheduled that for later this morning, so hopefully I will get a clearer picture on things, including how he operates on a daily basis.

All went well thank you and it seems my new location will be with one of the existing programmes who I already support.

However I was shocked to hear that one admin "refused to move" in order to accommodate one of our Directors and his PA, so instead they are being relocated in a quieter area near me.

I thought it was very childish and instead of being allowed to do as she pleases, she should have been made to move.  Awkward or what?! Shocked

How does one refuse to move?  I want to learn that skill set!
