[ARCHIVED THREAD] - what would you do.... (job question)

Posted: 12/15/2005 12:40:46 AM EDT

what would you do if your supervisor and his supervisor were activly seeking new employment because of the asshole who was next up the chain of 'command' ?

that's whats happening now where I work.. 3 people have already left and I know for a fact that the two people listed above have or are taking offers probably as early as tomorrow!!!!

I have updated my resume and am kinda looking around.

Corporate HQ did get wind of this and they did a little bit of restructuring, but it was probably too late.

At the moment, I don't feel that my job is at risk. We've got plenty of work, but we're under staffed as it is and the short foreseable future doesn't look like it's gonna be fun!

Sounds to me like there are some advancement opportunities opening up for you. I'd show the company how valuable you are and move up the ladder.

I've thought of that.
But the company hasn't learned anything and still business as usual in spite of the 'restructuring' (which, IMHO, was just a token step to keep some key players on board)

Make sure you have a coversheet on all your TPS reports and you're sure to be promoted.

Even so - may be nice to have that supervisor salary while you're looking elsewhere. As a bonus, having a supervisory position is always nice on the ole resume.

However, if you just decide to kill everyone in the office, please use a 2x4 with a railroad spike through it - gunowners get enough grief.

Bend over.
Grab ankles.
Kiss ass goodbye.

Seriously, if things are that bad, I'd shop myself around. Good luck.

I think you're on the right track.

I'm always updating my resume, and keeping my ear to the rail for new opportunity. Right now I'm happy with my job, I'm getting exposed to a wide array of skills that I'd have a hard time getting experience with in any other job.

Someone else said to be prepared to move up the ladder at your current job. I think that's a good idea too.

I worked in a situation like that once. Lot of the employees quit over time. The rest got canned when the business got bought out.....

Sounds like it's either up or out for you. Can you stand the boss's boss's boss?

Hang in there and check it out.

Don't let the misfortune and shortcommings of others dictate anything when it comes to your general everyday duties and responcibilities where you work.

These things happen in companies periodically and they will pass.
