Like a broken record, my writing here has been so sporadic.
This is nothing but a reflection of work and stress if you want to know the truth of it.
In the last year, the parent company that I work for bought one of or competitors, is making us merge with them, and is rebranding the new organization as a completely different entity.
My boss quit. My boss’s boss quit.
Half of our software developers quit. 50% of my department has quit.
Well…today, I quit.
I’m serious!
Rather, I gave my 2 week notice.
Whew.
The daily grind the last year has been brutal if I am being open.
And I have wanted a way out for a long time.
The long and short of it is that another job fell into my lap out of the sky in the last 10 days.
I have not even been applying for jobs, but the CEO of another company – a man I had not spoken to in 6 years – called me up last week.
After an hour phone call with him, and another one hour video conference with one of his Vice Presidents, he offered me a job.
I will have to travel a bit the first 6 months for training but I will likely work from home after that.
The coming change is scary. (Change usually is.)
But the uniqueness of the position. and the timing of the offer is just 100% a God thing.
I am excited about the future.
And I’m excited about the possibility of a career, instead of what for so long felt like a job.
OMgoodness, I want to do great at this.
I love you.
