Well, as of 10am today my position at Northcliffe Media has been made redundant. The job though, not me, technically.Apparently, they do not need a 'New Media Specialist' for the future. Go figure.
And so we come to the next stage. They are now looking around the DMGT to "see if my skills fit in anywhere else" and, in addition to this, I'm to "spec out several potential positions within the wider group that could be created to utilise your talents". All very odd, and insanely convoluted. I'm still not really sure what the fracks going on now. Anyway, I'm to present options on Wednesday next week at our next meeting, and folks are sniffing around the corners of DMGT on my behalf.
So, no big Christmas presents and no days off over the festive period (in case I leave and they are deducted pro-rata), joygasum.
Alas, despite an ingrained fondness for the place, I just can't afford to mess about anymore. I'm a multi-award winning one man online marketing department, officially looking for work and open to offers.
