Meet the new boss, same as the—um, wait...

Another one to add to the official Bad Signs list:

When your boss comes to your desk, asks you to come to his office "for a minute" but "it's nothing to panic over."

Then he closes the door. "I don't want you to worry, but..."

Any time soon the announcement is supposed to come that I (and most of the rest of the people reporting to my boss) are about to report to someone else instead. So now, rather than waiting on my current boss and his boss (who I think still doesn't know what I do) to tell me what my job is, I'm waiting on a new boss I've never met and the same next boss up to tell me. Once they decide. If they even decide. It's been what, four months already?

I will give him credit for wanting to tell me in advance of the email announcement. I mentioned how very rare that is, and thanked him for it.

So, some day I'll meet the new boss. In theory. He doesn't even have an office in our building yet. Apparently he comes here frequently enough.

What's that saying about change? Oh, I think it's being revised. Sorry.
