After ten years in my current role, they decided to change it by announcing it in an org meeting without telling me or even mentioning it to me it in advance. And as for “hey we will help you find a similar role, you ve been here 25 years afterall!” - no, they did not.
When I think about it I still get very cross.
Always worth remembering your work does not care about you. It does not define you. It pays you. That’s all.
A long while back, I decided to depart an employer when it wasn’t really a good fit anymore; a younger colleague (think 1 year out of college) said to me,
“I guess I consider myself to be more loyal.”
I suggested he remember that sentence when he gets laid off from some job at some point in the future. He was, in fact, laid off from the same same employer a few months later.
Cynicism is one thing AI will not take from me…
