The Announcement
We'd been waiting for it for quite a while and finally it came on Tuesday. Faceless Corporation announced that it would be selling my division. Actually that's not entirely true, the division was split off in an independent venture that is co-owned by Faceless Corporation and Immobiliare Intl. What complicates this is the fact that the new company doesn't actually legally exist yet, with no clear date for when it will. Of course there is a clear date for when we cease to be employees of Faceless Corp. Flawless planning once again rears it's unwelcome head.
Yes it's all very weird. Being as risk averse as I am, I have to suddenly learn to run fast and loose, leveraging all this chaos to my advantage. This has the potential to be the sort of disaster that one usually sees in farces about well-meaning young country bumpkins in the city. Let's hope it goes better than I am anticipating.
Bonus question: what happened to the confident young jackass I was in undergrad? Post answers at your leisure.
