A wave of sadness
At the change in reporting
A demotion in reality
Though no change in remuneration
The casualty of re-org
A prick of sadness
Of history repeating itself
Again
And again
And again
Perhaps one is easy to do this to…
Brace up and be confident in one’s value
Brace up and face the world
Even if sobbing within
What an inconvenient feeling
Happened more than once
Not twice
But thrice
So far
First, from Director to Manager
Fallout from organisational re-structure
Manager title less directly demotion-like than DD, no?
Second, a boss’ promise to “bring everyone up”
So promising!
Yet so false.
From divisional director
To a lower rung director
Under a group director
Then, in the twilight of one’s career
Yet another re-org
A Head like the rest
Down another level
The only one affected among one’s peers
Things come in threes…
Que sera sera
