And Two More Decide To Leave
In the midst of all the rush for this new project we’ve been working on, I received two resignations from the team deployed on-site with our Clever client. I just wish I wasn’t a zombie when I got their resignations last Friday; maybe I would’ve reacted more normally. Instead, I think I didn’t react at all. I was just numb from not sleeping for over 24 hours.
Actually, it wasn’t really unexpected. I’d warned management about the Clever situation months ago. And the “special” announcement they were waiting for in July didn’t happen. So yeah, this was expected. I really can’t blame them either. Hostile client environment, stupid tech, and stupid use of tech, and… well, economic downturn and all that… I’m actually grateful they lasted this long at the oxymoronic Clever client at all!
If my spidey-sense is anything to go by, there are potentially a couple more who are looking to file their resignations soon as well, both from our on-site team, and from among the guys in the office. I wish it weren’t so, but that’s just the way it is. The entire big-picture scenario is kind of complicated, and its a pity we (management) haven’t had a good enough job of convincing everyone to keep the faith just a little bit longer — at least not good enough to convince these guys to stay.
