Working from home today.Was going to work at the office by the airport tomorrow, but my boss IM'd me and asked I come to the Enclave (Energy corridor) office tomorrow. This is what we call Immediate Manager (the one who approves vacation and other mundane functions).That can't be good in this economy.history;3 weeks ago my "functional Manager" called from Dubai, he was "offered" another position. As he put it, take it or don't let the door hit you on the *** on the way out.They are also debanding our team (of which only 4 of us were left).So two other guys on our team, go a new functional manager.They were told I don't have one and have to find my own boss."I have to find my own boss!?!"Then the guy I am in reality working for 2 weeks ago (doing SSIS and data ETL for Tableau reporting for you techies) said he is trying to get to be my Functional Manager.But he is not IT, and then last week through the grapevine I heard I was getting a different functional manager in Dubai. 4951

@FoFa:  That doesn't sound good.  When a company starts falling apart like that, they usually bring in someone new to run it and they usually clean house.  I'm wishing good luck to you, but you might want to update your resume.  I've had assignments where I had one Administrative Manager and several Functional Managers.  That sucked big time! 4951

Is there anything you've been hankering to do to start your own business?

Sorry to hear that @fofa but hopefully it leads to something  better anyway.  Linked In is where I would start too, and then go to a recruiter. 4951
