The next departure from platform…

June 20th, 2007

Family of the work kind again. Yesterday brought news of two more departures - one colleague to work in a new post in Manchester, the other to change to lobbying work with a charity.

Our first piece of positive promotion? One colleague who’s been with us for some time got the promotion she wanted, and will now be a couple of rungs above me, looking after the work of quite a large cross-sectoral team.

Tomorrow sees actual departures of two more colleagues, one to a secondment in an office abroad, another home to Eastern Europe to take stock, and work out her next career move.

So if any of you want to work in the same office as me, there’s a few spaces at the moment…

Morale is a bit of a problem when over a third of the office has moved on, or is about to. If I thought our ‘folk thin[ned] lamentably’ a month or two back, they do all the more now. Our little team of three has developed a chocolate habit this week, to keep us going in the afternoon, but we need not to let that one continue too long…
Nice meanwhile to welcome one of those back in a couple of weeks to help at the course we run for our students before they go abroad. Here’s hoping she brings some Parisian sun with her!
