Breakfast Beer

Okay, it's not morning, rather just back from lunch and a pitcher of beer. This morning was the official call about the end of our oceanographic research at this location. So my small team, and an adjacent team is being eliminated. Interesting how they avoid those words. Words like execution of the plan are used rather than laying off everyone. I guess we should be able to find some roles inside the business for people, but it's hard to say whether that will work for everyone.

I'm not really concerned too much. I think things were untenable as they were. A contingent of known-bad management has continued to show themselves as such. Decisions were based on political issues rather than value to the company. So the oceans will go on without us, and perhaps we'll find ourselves in better positions.

The coming weeks and months until our eventual termination will continue to be interesting. Watch here for the goings-on.
