QOTD: i appoint myself VP of blogging

question of the day: what is your opinion of the reorganization? Do you think anything will really change, and will it be better or worse? If you don’t know anything about the reorg, what are your plans for the long weekend?

The re-org is quite discombabulating. I do not know if it was intended to foster change. It was more like change is happenning, lets see what else we can do.

We have a [person in new position] to look into new technology while (people in annoymous position) write code in 5 year old technology. The fact that they hire a replacement for (person who's leaving) without consulting one person on the (people in annoymous position) team shows how management feels about their input. So just jam more stuff down our necks and tell us what a great job we're doing and how you couldn't do it without us.

i'm glad it happened since it's helping me get my career plans together and have a reorg of myself!!!!

Reorg - I don't think things will change for most of us. [coworkers] are probably in for the most adjusting to the new setup.

my plans for the weekend are to cuddle up with a bag of cheetos and Pennsylvania Dutch birch beer.

nothing i like to speak about on record

I think that the long weekend is good for our department and the company. Some people will ask, "Do we really need a long weekend, especially so soon after the holidays?" I say yes. Some of us were too busy to take off during the holidays.

i plan to paint my house and watch football.

this probably won't affect me at all, and i have no major plans this weekend, thanks for rubbing it in!

I think there are too many directors and execs and not enough actual people to carry out the work. We need more minions, not execs. This weekend I plan on watching football and catching up on sleep.

The reorg doesn't affect my group so I don't know of any direct changes. As for the weekend, play some Madden, play some poker, watch some football

Happy hour tonight (all are welcome) and Philly tomorrow. I'll be watching every second of every NFL Playoff game as well. And if I'm up for it, maybe a little snowboarding on Monday to celebrate my African roots.

i have no real opinions in the reorganization of [dept] (as i am not in that group). i am sad about [coworker] leaving...but hopefully this [new coworker] guy will be cool. as for the long weekend - i have MANY activities planned...i'm pumped.

Aspects of the change are good. Bringing in a fresh perspective has the possibility to help breath new life into the organization. Some of the other changes will not be all that significant. There is the potential to accomplish a lot of great things in 2006 but only if the right processes are put in place. I think that if people want to take advantage of this opportunity to foster change then now's the time to do it.
