A very long-pending re-org in our department finally got announced yesterday. Some of it addresses organizational ambiguities that have been around since my previous position shift, and some of it is driven by more recent issues and client reporting needs, but I some of it also stemmed from some discussions between my boss and me, which is good (and I provided editorial assistance on the memo and org chart docs that went out).
Affect on me? More a change in which way my chair faces than anything up or down (or even much sideways). My group name is simplified to “Home Office Systems,” and our charter’s been narrowed some so that the payroll side of the house is now (mostly-kinda-sorta) with the Finance group, not mine. I lose some developers and support people and gain some, too. I get to focus on a few big projects better, I should have fewer late night and weekend calls (for a while), and all should be well.
Once I soothe folks who are scratching their heads or panicking or in a I-don’t-know-what’s-happening twitter.
