ugh.
well...
i just found out they're "letting go" our favorite copier-leasing lady. luckily, she just turned 62. today, in fact. i'd buy her a beer, but she's not here.
this makes me really sad, not just for her, but for all the people here she supported since taking over the program so many years ago.
of course, it makes me a bit angry, too, considering she was nearly forced out of a job a couple years back, and then brought back to finish out her time till retirement as a part-timer because they couldnt legally get rid of her then. things have changed a lot since, new management and such, and they've told her it's time.
what that means is, the manager of the program will now have to start doing her own work. but, wait... that manager is moving to our new Sales and Marketing division. Um. Ok. Well... with two managers gone, that leaves: an IT guy, a fiscal guy, a meter reader, and a customer service gal.
Amongst the whole extended IT group, we've all said we'd like to see the customer service gal be put in charge. The decision hasnt been made, but honestly, she's the hardest worker and knows the most about the program overall. The fiscal guy is a great worker, and so is the IT guy, but their knowledge is limited.
at any rate, sad to see Jo Ann V. go.
