Just when we thought is was safe to go back into the water, an all Finance meeting was called on Tuesday by the CFOO. The objective of this meeting was to give an "update" as to what would be happening with the financial service division. The CFOO gave a brief and un-informative speech. As I sat in this meeting and glanced around the room, there were grim, confused and angry looks on people faces.
Most people felt that it was a waste of their time to go to this meeting because they didn't know anymore than what they knew when they went in. Several employees expressed their anger and frustration loudly. Not that I blame them, but I am not going to show frustrations here at work. The CFOO is encouraging people to use the EAP program, which is a wonderful tool, but that is not going to help people to understand what is really going on.
From what I can tell, there will be a reorg based on what the STATE will give us for our budget and that will not happen until March. The outlook is looking grim and the budget department could be really cut down to a skeleton crew.
All I can do is hope and pray for the best!
