No rethinking then. A new organisational structure. No mention of terms such as regrading or promotion. No evidence of thoughts ever having touched on them. I notice both my old departments Serials and Document Supply have been renamed or submerged under different titles. My always-lurking paranoia questions whether perhaps my deafness has been factored into the move. That perhaps I have been found wanting in my customer care skills.
I move to St Georges Library in January (unless those lottery numbers come up first) and expect that life will go on. I will miss the team I have now - they have easily been the best team I have ever worked with. I came to Document Supply trying to find a way to deal with a fractured trust and a feeling that management had used me and exploited me. Being continually asked to do small extra tasks that might eventually give me a job description that would merit upgrading. The promise was dangled above me various times in Serials - new job title - extra responsibilities - but Pay and Reward rather failed to reward me.
Document Supply made me glad to go back to work, not because I believed the future was any brighter but because I loved the people I work with. Thank you for helping me. I wish we could continue.
