Times Are Changing.

Well there has been a little drama in the office of late. 

I went to Sydney for the weekend a couple of weeks ago, and came back to a re-structure of the Sales Teams. A new Sales Rep, and a semi-demoted Sales Rep, and 2 newly created AE positions.  Then the drama unfolded, as one AE was promoted over another.  So this made for some discussions and resulted in the AE leaving rather abruptly.  So the up shot is that we now need to hire 4 new AEs.

The physical office is also having a re-structure too.  We have lost our large kitchen space, it has now been reduced to a galley Kitchen.  Not happy about that, we were all enjoying sitting away from our desks for lunch! We have also gained 2 new walls at the front to block out most of the people traffic walking past our doors.  I don't think it will stop delivery guys & such just lobbing into the office, which I suspect was part of the reason.

Lacksidaysil Days

Soooo ... don't have enough work to keep me occupied at the moment, but I do know it will get progressively busier soon.

There have been a number of changes at work recently. We lost a RSM and an AE, as they announced that they will be splitting one team in 2, making a new RSM, and hiring 3 more AE's, now 4 more AE's.  I have also recently been informed that I have a fierce reputation with my colleagues in the Sydney office. That is something I find highly amusing I must say.  Those that know me from Sydney know I'm not that fierce, but whatever will get them to do what I ask!

So new works happening in the office too...walls being knocked down, new ones being erected and new appliances coming in. It's all very ... very.

Honestly!! It's like I was speaking a foreign language!!  AARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!
