Changes, again ....

Last week, I was told I'll be getting a new boss.
This is just another layer between me and my manager.
This fella which I knew from my first job in production is gonna be
my boss, again.
I was feeling excited, happy, anxious and worried all at once.
This is becos I've been used to running the show with minimal supervision from my manager.
Basically, I was worried cos I know that this fella is a hands-on mgmt.
He will go down to the floor just to get the sentiment & mood of the people.

And guess what is the message he has for us?
He was told by the GM that our morale has been badly hit due to constant criticism and finger pointing.
What he didn't know is that all this is thanks to my current boss (who is the most pessimistic & the worst critic of all)!!!
These negative inputs were coming from the horse's mouth.
We didn't see ourselves in such a light and we're all surprised that we are viewed as such.

And so that was the first meeting we have with this fella.
I ended the day feeling very low, as I felt that we are no good to the extend that the GM has to assign another layer of mgmt so that we can get the job done
And I thought we were doing a good job (many people have been telling us so).

And so once again we end up having another organisation change.
Another layer of reporting and crap....
But I have to look at the bright side, maybe GM is thinking that he needs to protect us from our over-bearing manager, and thus he send this fella to shelter us from the constant negative energy that has been pouring on us.
Maybe GM knows & can see that the manager is not supporting us enough, and that he is dragging our morale down the drain instead ... maybe... maybe ...... wishful thinking!!!
I think, maybe I can convince myself to accept that explanation.
I WILL accept that explanation.
Now I have to convince my new boss to allow us to eat in the office.. heee.....!!!
What next??????
