At Risk

Well it's official my job is now classed 'at risk'. This has been looming for a few weeks as I knew my place of work was going to have another restructure (the last one being a mere year and a half ago).

My feelings about the situation fluctuates between anger and, well, anger really. It's not just me of course, some senior management posts are definitely going, some of my admin colleagues are also 'at risk' and they haven't even started on the middle and lower management layers.

It is very hard going to work at the moment as obviously I'm under a black cloud, my other 'at risk' colleagues are equally glum and the people who have jobs that aren't in jeopardy are feeling 'survivors guilt'.

It didn't help seeing on the News last night that 236 people had applied for a bin man's job just down the road in Havant. Ebay selling here I come....
