This could get interesting

Boss's boss (VP of Global Ops, and the guy who actually hired me) is out. Missed revenue last three quarters, predictability has been crap, so Joe is the fall guy. Announced a couple days back, replacement is another VP who has been running Global Services the last three years (David).

First year plus here I didn't even talk to my actual boss - I was dotted line to Joe and reported to him pretty much weekly. Last couple months, the four big transfer projects I was baby sitting have been wrapping up, and my assignments have been heading more towards my actual boss (Doug).

Just had my introductory one on one session with David. Big changes coming, outside consulting firm showing up week after next, gonna map out a whole new reality for operations. He pointed out that when he took over Global Services, half the key positions were empty and he replaced all the people in the other half. Not so subtle intimations that 'new reality' is gonna include similar 'talent evaluations' this time around.

Got the chance to sell myself (what I've been/done here and in previous jobs, willing to jump in where I can contribute, etc etc) and there seemed to be a genuine appreciation for my skill set. David also said I'd been given excellent
recommendations by everyone he's talked to.

Pretty sure I'll be ok (doesn't hurt that my work has been outside the day to day revenue generating side of things), but pretty sure some good folks have got to be sweating bullets about now.
