Looks like there is going to be some pretty major shaking up here at work. I just really hope it does not affect me to greatly.
Basically they are doing a major reshuffling of the upper-level management. Our CEO if being moved to a semi-retirement no powers job and the head manager here at our factory is retiring a few years early. Probably good as his stress level has definitely peaked during the last year.
This might be a good shift - maybe. They are wanting to change all of the titles for our upper level people. They want to create a permanent name, which for some odd reason they dont have now, and be more in line with our over seas affiliates and customers. They are also considering spreading out our high level dudes. Now they are all holed away in the head office in Tokyo. They are talking about sending them all over so that they actually have a slight clue as to what is really going on in the world and the company. The idea sort of makes sense.
I hope they get their head out of their asses an start hiring more foreign engineers. They can be for anywhere for all I care, we just need some new blood, fresh ideas and a different thinking pattern. Put together a group of people who have all been trained the same and are from the same social background and the term 'think outta the box' does not apply to easily. That and the box tends to get smaller over time.
I hope that whom ever the new CEO is he has a 2004 attitude and not a 1980's one. The big economy bubble burst some time ago and the ability to compete is much more important.
There is also a rumor that my section manager Mr. A will be transferred. This scares me. We have a good report and I am comfortable with him. I am going to have to learn to kiss ass with a new guy. Damn!
Oh well,
All changes bring good and bad right?
hehehee
