That I just hate my "industry"...... Today is one of them..... I got an email about an hour ago from a colleague / friend / old boss....
After working for the same company for 15 years they have decided to terminate her position and the *program* she was running... She (as she always does) accepted this with grace and sent out this email to thank all of (us)that she has worked with over the years and give us her new email..
At the close of the email (and this is truly how she is) she states
If there’s ever anything I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
I really hope this company realizes what a true gem they have lost she is one of the top in my field AND she has a heart of gold...
The *sad* thing about all of this is I saw this coming and jumped ship about 3 months ago in order to keep this account with the "new direction" (IE) new company that this "company" chose to "try out".
Because of :ahem: "clauses" within my contract I could not say a word to any of my colleagues about what was going on.... (I'm actually very upset over that because I feel like I betrayed people I had worked with for years by not being able to give them advance notice of what was coming there way.......
"That" is just the way this "industry" is...... constant change and full of clauses..... ( I HATE that ) but I love my job so I tolerate the "shit" that goes with it....
I learned years ago that in this industry it's "here today and gone tomorrow" even if you are a top preformer you can loose an account in a second simply because of managerial changes and "who" knows "who"
Thankfully I'm at a point in my career that the "who" is now me and I know enough folks at corporate levels to save my neck when things like this happen....
It still just doesn't make it right...... and this will eat at me for a loooooong time.....
