Yesterday was pretty damn stressful, especially after my boss arrived. She told my friend that she would be by in the afternoon, but didn't arrive until 10 minutes before we were supposed to leave. Then she dropped a HUGE bombshell on us. Certain issues happening (did not give details) have changed the needs of the department and my friend would be leaving our location in a week. There will be some 'restructuring' and a woman a have briefly worked with will be moving over into her spot. My friend will be cross trained in several areas so that she can choose which one she wants. Our boss kept reassuring us that this was a good thing and she wanted to keep my friend in the department. I sat there in a daze, waiting to hear my outcome. After our boss finished with my friend she stood up to leave. I practically jumped out of my chair asking, "So what about my position?" Our boss said that nothing was going to change for me except my office mate. I breathed a sigh of relief and instantly felt guilty. I had talked my friend into coming to this department. She left a shitty area that was stable and now is feeling like she's in a free fall. I tried to be positive but in all honesty I don't think it helped. I don't know what's happening on the other end and how these changes will eventually affect me. I was so excited to have my friend here. Little issues aside we work well together and the atmosphere is pretty laid back. Now I'm wondering if this new person is going to be someone I will be able to work around or if it's going to be another hide behind the monitor deal. *sigh* After we left all I could say was 'thank G-d I still have a job'. It's really scary out there...
