For nigh on a year, we have been anticipating significant organisational change. By 1st August, this year (we are told), the new organisational structure (and content) will be in place. The change is coming about following a fundamental review of our area of the business. It isn't just about who manages us, and who our immediate colleagues are. It affects what we do - it will define what we do.
I have been welcoming this change. I am aware of problems which the review has properly identified, and which are (we are told) being addressed. Of course, at the same time, change is unsettling. But we hope that the brave new world we are entering will be better than the old one.
Except that it is now the 2nd of June. For my own sanity, I have to acknowledge that a change which was to take a year, and which has yet to begin, is a change which now shouldn't be happening. Perhaps it will, perhaps it won't. But as I try to work through the resounding silence, I have to change what I believe. Maybe I can start to insist that we make our own changes, within the existing framework, to make our working lives bearable.
Or, maybe, it's just me, and everyone else is happy ...
