Friday the 13th marks a big management shake up at work. My boss and his boss, both of whom I have a lot of respect for, have been moved out of the organization. I have been asked to stay on and will report to the new General Manager as VP of Engineering and will also pick up the Program Management team and an engineering team in Dallas (my total team size is now ~550). On Monday, additional senior management changes will be announced with six VPs being reassigned or moved out (I am one of two to survive in my current role). Although the changes are massive, I think they will be good for the company in the long term. My new boss has scheduled meetings for 12 hours on Monday so I don’t expect I will be posting much during the early part of next week.
