The top?

LOL in my last post I left out one of the most important things. Even though the top top guy, Blow, has left the building, one of the good things that happened was that our department got a new VP. And that VP, who I will call Smart, is just really good. He sort of encapsulates everything good that I see in managers; I’m just sorry that he’s at the VP level, and not someone I have more direct interaction with. He’s the only reason I chose to come back to this department.

I think over time, Smart will turn things around in engineering. The day he took over, there was a sudden, dramatic restoration of sanity around here.

And in all fairness to Smooth, he is sort of competitive and ruthless, but he does really promote the interest of his group. So I was actually happy to see he got that promotion, and I think he’ll be beneficial for the organization, even if it doesn’t work out for me.

We’ll see.
