And the world spins on anyway

justalurkrI am coping with my latest work shock (new boss, have never really agreed with anything she's said that wasn't common sense) through the following realizations:
1. Everyone knew about her and her work in the customer facing organization and she was hired anyway as a level 2 in this department. Our level 3, like, went looking for her. If she's sold him on the idea of making our group an extension of the customer facing organization, who am I to argue?
2. I've had a 23 year run at this organization working for people who weren't like her and who didn't make me potentially hate everything I say and do on their behalf and here I am including my time as a level 1 supervisor, which came close. It's high time I worked for someone who requires a lot of shutting up and doing as I'm told as the vast majority of the US workforce has to already.

They wanted a pre-trained City Secretary, what they got is someone who was looking for another job because she was about to be fired. I have that on good authority, as well as several people from her former employer flat out saying not to hire her.
My co-worker and I dream of the day we're ignored completely again.

So, we get people from some other company to do jobs that our people have been preparing for over the last year.
