Tense

Thursday September 23, 2004 - 10:15AM EDT

Since my official resignation was put in everything seems really tense around the office. There are some people who come to ask me about what happened and champion my cause while others just smile and nod without ever even mentioning it. There is also the matter of my boss. He seems to be avoiding me, I think, I can't be sure. The sucky part is that it is him that will probably get the most heat from my exit when it is a whole bunch of other people besides him that are responsible. I should send out a mass email to the division telling them the real story, because this is pissing me off. Because my leaving or staying won't change anything I could at least get out one final word. Could I stay and try to change things from the inside. Yes I could do that and it may work, but there are no guarantees the chances are the same as if I go on my own. There is no real advantage here, it is a matter of choice.

Seems like they are scared, shook, in a desperate situation. Mainly because they know I am right and the reasons I give them for my departure isn't some half-baked decision, they are valid. The sad part is, that they will probably put blame on themselves or me when the real culprit here is a company that handcuffs its employees and forces them to be magicians to get simple things done. If they can realize that then I will have made a difference if they don't then I have done nothing and they will find themselves in this situation again.
