Excellent …<\/i><\/p>\n
Since they happened to be in the neighborhood, the New New Boss and the CIO dropped into the Glasgow, Scotland, office to try to make the transfer of someone there into my group a reality, rather than something that just kept being sort of bandied about.<\/p>\n
And they did. So while there are still some negotiations to get done over title and rates and work priorities, and while nothing is ever completely done until the ink is dry (witness my ongoing efforts to get the guy down in Reading transferred into the group, which is favored by the guy, his boss, and everyone else, but dependent on some less-than-responsive HR types), it sounds like I have staff in, and a future trip to, Scotland. <\/p>\n
