Never thought I'd say this but...

I don't like working for MAW anymore. They hired a new director in April and I knew it would be trouble when he managed to visit one-on-one with everyone in all the other departments under his "leadership" within 2-3 weeks but he never even introduced himself to my dept., (not ever the manager) until 2 months later.
But recently, 2 people from another area had decided to move on and gave in their 2-weeks notice. Both had been here for several years. He laid both of them off within a day. One of them was on a business trip in Nebraska at the time, visiting our chapter there. He had her expense account cancelled. That meant, if she wanted to eat before she had to fly back home, it was at her own expense.

Then he called a last-minute meeting to discuss the recent staff "changes" and to tell us we will all have to share the burden of the extra work and that we are "all on the same team" and need to work together.

We all DO work together but now all we talk about is the negative feelings we have.

Oh well. I started working part-time from home running several web sites for a friend of mine. She pays a lot more than MAW and the job will be turning full time later this year. I'm planning on moving back to California after this year too.

It's such a shame. I still love what MAW does but now, not how it runs this office anymore.
