Today I have been informed that a headhunter is looking for a technical specialist for our Ankara Office. I did not ask for this. Neither did the Technical Team Leaders in either of our offices. Naturally, it is very disturbing for them since "someone" is looking for a person who will supposedly be reporting to them. How stupid! How unprofessional! I wonder if my replacement is aware of these. If so, I am going to be very sorry for the people I will be leaving behind.
It turned out that the new GM has asked for these. What is he trying to accomplish by disturbing the people? There is no such need and yet, he is hiring. People are very uncomfortable and they come to me. I have no answer to give them just yet because I have to wait to announce my leaving till next Tuesday. What a mess! Thank God, in a few days I will anounce my departure and will not have to deal with this chaos anymore.
Meanwhile, they have hired a Pre-Sales person already without properly giving notice to the Sales Leader at the same office.
What a poor way to treat people! I am absolutely furious.
The new owners are not very people savvy, it appears. I wonder how many people will leave over the latest, maybe not moving away not but soon. I am quite sure you realize your decision was the best decision for you. Good grief!
ReplyDeleteYes. They have the grace of an elephant in a china shop.
Deletewow. that is definitely not the way to do it. Be glad you are almost out of there!
ReplyDeleteThree more sleeps until your announcement and then your leave date countdown can begin! This is a terrible way to treat people and I agree with Linda, I think people are going to start leaving because of the way they're being treated. I think they'll also be shocked and disappointed that you're leaving and that will have a big affect as well.
