As after storm wanes away, the eerie silence that prevails... I felt that on July 5th after the massive re-org that happened in my client place. This news not only shocked me who was new to this, but jolted also those who survived the brutal wave. Of the people whom I interacted with, few were clueless on their next steps, few hid their grief and were exchanging mail-ids excusing themselves that they got time for a vacation. This was purely a finance book decision which was really a bitter pill.
Back home in my offshore team, we were discussing in length on how to replace a team-member who was grappling with tasks. He is a nice man and is affable, but given the nature of the project we were not able to fit him in the team puzzle. Finally I was forced to take that harsh step, sending out a minor shock wave. It was well received at my client side though.
Storms are a part of nature and we got to harden ourselves to the realities. Whatever doesnt kill us, makes us stronger !!!
