the plot thickens
walked into work on monday afternoon (on my normal day off), to find my boss, one of the equity partners of the firm, is leaving at end of the week.
he didn't tell me. i walked in to confront him. he didn't seem to care. he said he's onto different things and hopefully another company. he seemed ok. doesn't make sense an equity partner would withdraw equity to fund another business after only one year since the merge unless something quite fishy has gone down.
one ponders if it was office politics, or partner's door-shut politics.
the plot, like slow cooking polenta.
the managing partner calls me to arrange a closed door briefing on friday, to brief him on all my "outstanding" projects. my boss has made no arrangements for my review, and has very quickly glossed over my future. though who am i kidding. my future is limited since i am not learning.
my boss who is leaving assures me that the new decision maker will have need for my existence (which wasn't my question. my question was can i get an informal feedback session since he was my manager for the past year).
here is a list of marketing related decisions the man i'm about to brief has made over the past year:

here is a list of marketing related decisions the man i'm about to brief has made over the past year:
- against any advertising for external seminars
- against outsourcing production of marketing collateral to enable proper rollouts of campaigns
- imposes in-house catering for some functions that he is not personally hosting (though i would have none of it and expense it anyway)
- "reducing costs" of newsletters by lowering numbers of pages of publications
- decide against integration of 2 separate databases; one relational, one not; with different contact lists, opting for the manual data entry approach done by WPs who happen to have spare time
- will not refresh the website because "it still works"
- won't bother enabling marketing to track and report on activities
