Layoffs <sigh>. I'm safe for the time being, they say,
<begin background noise:
resumeupdates(click,clickety,click,ka-ching)>
but my boss will be gone by the end of next week and I'll be reporting to
one of the Engineering project managers. My least favorite project manager.
The one who won't let me bill his projects for half of the work I do for him
because "I looked at what you did and it couldn't have taken that long".
That guy. The Project Manager From Heck. I think I'm going to cry.
Meanwhile, my boss---the guy whose first words to me were "How do you like
to be managed?"---is looking for a job. Do you know anybody who needs an
experienced quality/regulatory affairs/project manager? This one is
is a gem.
