Heard back from a senior IT manager I’ve been corresponding with. He actually called me before I could call him (I figured since he’d been out over two weeks on travel, and it was a Monday, I’d cut him some slack), which is a good thing.
There are some continued discussions going on as to various organizational items that impact me and others, but they sound fairly positive. Some questions I’d raised about some cross-functional ambiguity (serving multiple masters sort of thing) seem to have taken on additional relevance, so he’s got that on his radar.
He did note that some write-ups I’d done as to how things seemed to be developing were “spot-on,” which means that when I’m talking a good talk about matters, I’m at least talking in the right direction. And it was a nice, gratuitous complement, which is always nice.
More official word (and fewer circumlocutions) probably this coming Friday. Or, since it’s a company holiday, Thursday.
