workaday Wednesday
Jul. 8th, 2020 05:40 amEvery year (theoretically? I guess?) my workplace has a series of meetings in which they look at all the products the company offers and decide if any will be discontinued. Theoretically, this decision is based on input from all teams, though historically, that seems -- not entirely true.
Last year, these meetings began in February. The decisions were not shared until November. (And that wasn't even official -- that was me begging for an early copy of the spreadsheet on the dl.)
This year, the meetings started this week. I asked someone (who is not directly involved, but more involved than I am) what they thought that meant in terms of when we should expect decisions. I got a loooooooooong pause, and then an, 'I have absolutely no idea.'
Haha I remember this feeling -- mildly reassured that I'm not the only one who has no idea what's going on, and yet also deeply concerned that perhaps NO ONE has any idea what's going on.
