Meant to be some big changes at work that were meant to be announced last week, got pushed to Mon - Tues... still nothing. The changes won't affect me, but I feel for the staff who are climbing the walls wondering about their future.

In other news, had a banger of a swim this evening.

    As much as that sucks, you're always glad when you're not in that situation. Workplaces seem to know how to set these things up to do as much psychological damage as possible as well

    I know that the MD isn't stretching it out to be malicious - he wears these types of decisions so hard and I think he's trying to come up with the best solution for his staff. The HR woman though...

    I don't know if it's incompetence or some trick HR people have learned. When an old job of mine was facing redundancies they'd wait until 5pm to send an invite for 9am the next day with just a title like "Discussion Meeting". Did they learn how to be this stressful from somewhere?
