Restructuring
I have gotten wind of this earlier - didn't think much of it until the official announcement came just now. A bit overwhelmed now.
The settling in of the reality can be painful and hard to accept. The news is that my department will be split into two - one group will merge into another group in Hong Kong, the other will be merged into another group in Singapore. Initially I was told that everyone in the department, especially my group, have been accounted for. Until today, I was informed that one member of my group needs a department to be housed. In fact this staff has the potential - just that he's junior - but he's a fast learner and loads of initiatives. I was actually the one who advised him to join my department last year. Now the next step is help him find another department.
On the other hand, my two other team members (including the older one which i have mentioned a few times before), has placements in the merged team in Hong Kong. While all of us were a bit grim and sad on this development, this older colleague seemed happy and jovial. Think she might get her desired promotion in that department.
As for me? My name's listed in the team moving to Singapore. Actually I was half expecting this. On the one hand, it's good to be back - but over the years here, this year I felt that I've finally got used to the winter here. Just that I'm beginning to feel settle down, I need to leave this place. This undecided feeling just overwhelmed me and I was on the verge of tearing on my way home just now.
