As a sharp business executive, I've decided to start smoking a pipe and using a pocketwatch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So the official announcement finally went out last night, and my New Position was proclaimed to everyone at The Company.<\/p>\n

It’s a “lateral” promotion, so no big raise or keys to the executive washroom or hot-and-cold running secretaries or anything. \u00a0In fact, I’m going to be doing much the same as I was doing previously (managing enterprise application development \/ acquisition and support), only with a remixed portfolio of corporate support groups — Legal, Sales, Quality, Travel, Safety. \u00a0Essentially shedding my HR clientele but getting a number of new ones.<\/p>\n

I’ve actually managed these groups, and the development managers over them, previously, but not quite in this combo — and HR was always a big distraction, honestly. \u00a0I’m also doing a couple of other projects\/initiatives for my boss to keep me busy in my copious spare time.<\/p>\n

It’s not quite as significant a shift as I had been originally thinking I would go for after IT did a big internal reorg last fall, but it’s what worked out, and it should nudge me out of my comfort zones in a couple of areas (in fact, already has). \u00a0And it’s a change I applied for, vs being assigned, which is also a good thing for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
