group dynamics

One of my biggest flaws is that I often take people at face value even though I say that I don't. In addition to that habit, I also tend to be very honest with people. Sometimes this proves to be a losing combination of personality traits in today's society or at the very least in business.

As I have said before most of my energy is focused on my trip and making any changes with my job has taken a back seat. At first this was fine with me, but after the meeting that we had this morning I am starting to wonder if I need to put some more energy back into the job.

From what I was told by my boss, some changes are going to be happening in the department. It seems that not only is our twenty-one year old hot shot leaving, but our career aggressive young woman of twenty-six is also transferring out of our department. After hearing his announcemnt, I knew why she asked me this last Saturday if I was interested in moving to days. She couldn't come right out and say it, but had to be casual and vague about it.

I'm not jealous of them, but the way that they went about getting their new job does bother me. Sigh. I am too old for these kind of power struggle games.
