Just What I Always Wanted. . . .

qos. . . To be the test case in a corporate war.
Ok, "war" is probably overstated, but after the day I've had, I'm inclined to negative overstatements.
People from very high on the food chain are getting involved in this little contretemps, and all I can do is keep my head down and do my current job as best I can. I will not be going anywhere near Business Ops unless or until it is decided that I can do so as a Pace employee.
The good news -- and I am determinedly looking for good news -- is that if I don't go to Business Ops, I get to stay where I really want to be for a few weeks longer.
But it's been a miserable day. I feel like a bone being fought over by several hungry dogs. It would be flattering if it was actually me they were fighting over, but it's all about contracts and fiscal bottom lines. I'm simply a resource, a line item, an abstract, to most of the people now involved in the issue.
The one person who has no financial interest in me is RB, my supervisor of the last several months, who listened patiently to my story this morning and immediately got on the phone to try to help work things out for me. He's been great, and I deeply appreciate his support. RB had not yet read the email in which the new director announced that he was hiring someone else, and that news - which he heard directly from me - was a clear and obvious surprise and disappointment to him, and when I explained what had been going on this morning, his expression was one of pain and sympathy. Which was a bit surprising, but very gratifying. I felt like he truly cared.
More bulletins as events warrant.
