Office of Morale Conditioner, anyone?
I just got an email from the corporate big-wigs, and they announced two new positions much higher in the food chain than I am.
The first position is inconsequential, as it could be considered a normal development post-merger.
But the second new department? I just about crapped my pants when I saw "Coroprate Social Responsibility". God, how I wish I was kidding.
When they named the person who was heading up the Corporate Social Responsibility department, I was surprised to see he wasn't named Chick Morrison.
Maybe Chicken Little was right.

Your company has just officially opened an Office of Zampolit.
But this Zampolit could make it a lot harder; not sure if I can keep my mouth shut for the short working time I have left. I've seen how Soviet Political Officers are portrayed in movies and books, and it ain't pretty. I run up against one of them in the next 24 months, and my career could end a bit sooner than I'm planning. Gonna be a real test of character.
In my situation when I was "asked to leave" during a downsizing event I was given the option to leave my retirement savings under company care or move it elsewhere. I chose to move it where the company couldn't get its mitts on it. It turned out to be a great move.
