Conservative company, very low turnover, long-time employees, etc. Well, they decided it was time to shake things a bit around the same time I hopped on board this train - ha! So, here is what has happened during this time:
1. I opened a state.
2. I gained an additional state, bringing my total to 3 states.
3. The way I conduct business in 2 of the 3 states completely changed.
4. Some field people were laid off in February.
5. I switched from the east to the west territory in April, which meant a new boss(Memphis in the West Territory?!!?)
6. Some more people were laid off in May.
7. I just switched back to the east territory last week, thus switching back to the boss who hired me.
8. My territory in my home state changed.
Whew! Not to mention several departmental shifts and all. Actually, all of these things needed to happen years ago gradually, but they delayed forever and had to play catch-up now. At least things seem like they will be this way for a good while, but who knows! At least the company informed most of the people who were let go well in advance (some even up to a year) as well as bringing in some resume and placement professionals to assist. They also gave a good severance package as well.
Anyway, at least it has been interesting!!!
