Yesterday around 9:45am, my boss walked into my office, closed the door, sat down and told me I had been restructured out of a job. She handed me my paperwork, got up, and walked out the door. I wish it was more exciting than that, but it was literally a drive by dismissal.
Truth be told I am actually quite happy about it - the last few months have been rife with uncertainty and unrest and none of us were sure about the direction the department was going. She didn't communicate much with us in terms of the changes coming (although she didn't hide anything from us either if that makes sense). I was working late nights and a few weekends just to keep my head above the pile of resumes and vacancies that buried my desk. Friends and family told me I looked tired and frustrated and unhappy, and they were bang on; I was not in a positive head space at all, and the gloom cloud of bad energy that hung over my head made it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But all that's behind me and I don't plan on looking back. My amazingly supportive little brother is getting married in 10 days and I am so looking forward to the party and celebration with family and friends, old and new. With my unused vacation days I will be off to Europe in May to recharge, regroup, and reconnect with myself. Then, it's time to network and do cover letters.
So if anyone knows of anyone who is looking for "a dynamic CHRP with over 5 years of related experience, and an established understanding of HR programs, policies, and legislation, and proven success in meeting high-volume and deadline driven recruitment needs" let me know.
