So thats what its ike to have the rug pulled out from under you.
So yesterday we have this really quick meeting at 3. I'll assumed the meeting was going to be about how the transition was going with me taking over Derrick's position.

Turns out our CEO is resigning at the end of the month so that we can afford to hire a full time VP or marketing. I'll almost fell out of my chair.

1. Our soon to be former CEO was the one the did a lot of the pushing to get me hired on full time. He was the one that saw that u had potential to be more than just web/tech support and he was the one that convinced the manager and president that I'll had what it takes to eventually assume an upper management position in the company once I'll got some experience. Without him there I'll have lost one of my biggest supporters. Not only that but we had a great rapport and understood where were coming from.

2. Our president comes from an academic background and as such needs someon to prod him along (because you can not run a business like a research program). Our CEO did that and has accomplished more in the last year since he took over than we had in 3 years previous. Without him I'll m betting things are going to return to they way they used to be.

3. This new guy thats coming in was hand picked by the president (not a good sign). He is in real estate (cuz we all know that that qualifies someone to put together marketing campaigns)(bad sign number 2).

4. This guy is not only taking what was going to be my job from me (marketing) but he is also taking away my ability to move ahead in the company as our CEO planned. I'll was looking at being upper level within 4 years, now with him ahead of me and being on the president's side im lucky if I'll make it there in 10.

All this leads to me thinking that I'll really have to reconsider my plans for world domination. I'll will see how things go with this new guy maybe we will get along great maybe he wont be the huge douchebag he sounds like, maybe I'll'll learn something.
Or maybe im just fucked.

Side note: use the word shlong in a conversation with someone today! Its a funny word use it more!
