It’s about time we make peace with the fact that constant changes and reorgs are not part of some precise plan of the leadership that relies with their vision of what the company is going to look like in the future, but that they have become embedded so deep into the company culture that they have become part of a constant process and a purpose to themselves only.
What I’m trying to say is that, while we all hope that there is some final outcome to the reorgs,and that if we survive them some better times awaits us at this company, that is never going to happen. The changes will keep on coming, the cut as the product of the changes will continue until this company is run into the ground, or if we are lucky enough, until some new leadership takes over that actually has a real vision. The real question is: can we wait that long and can we sacrifice a big portion of our career, gambling on the possibility that the structure and the culture can change.
