marcicatOh, work. Here's a thing I would prefer not to hear any more about this week: metrics! Also goals in general, which is really saying something since I usually love goals.
The Big Updates:
*Newest boss seems to be trying hard, which is I guess nicer than them not trying. Unfortunately still a bit unclear what it is they're trying hard to do.
*The company has canceled their in-person gathering (previously planned for August) for the stated reason of saving money.
*I expect the company is gearing up for another pretty significant round of layoffs (or 'reorganization' as they like to call it). Newest boss has said they are "looking at every opportunity to improve efficiencies," which to me sounds like a veeeeery close relative of "streamlining the workforce."
But in the meantime, it's the week before a four-day holiday weekend, and that's pretty great! Work is what work is, but every day has it's own beauty and joys as well.
