Restructure?
You have got to love working for large companies sometimes. Where I work, we are in 4 teams devoting to supporting a particular account. These teams are divided into functions but, oddly, enough, when the last restructure happened (about 15 months ago), a rather large amount of functions were overlooked - probably because the restructure architects didn’t bother to actually ask anyone what they did.
So now we find ourselves over a year later with teams like the one I’m in having to pickup tasks that have nothing to do with us in order to keep the customer happy. But, of course, the customer isn’t happy and neither are we.
So another restructure is decided upon - well, so the rumour goes, Rumour and conjecture is definitely rampant at the moment and no-one actually knows anything. We have heard that our 4 teams are to become 2 - function and membership undecided as of yet and I shouldn’t even know that.
The great thing about today is a friend of mine also working for the same organisation but on a different account and not involved in this went to a meeting today about this whole restructure (because it affects some of his team members).
So they get told and we get left in the dark? I really love working some days….
