Talked to the Server Manager in IT over lunch about the Exchange move this weekend. He told me there was a long IT managers meeting this morning to make plans for what IT was going to do about the Layoffs and the increased workload for everyone else. Said they were relieved because the meeting started with the announcement that none of the attending IT managers were being laid off. Also said the second topic was ME. Said the only reason I wasn't included in the meeting was I don't have employees or responsibilities that are going to be effected by the layoffs. They were impressed because even with increased workload and responsibilities they have given me to date I was the only one in IT who hasn't required more manpower or resources to get everything completed I was asked. Said I was a good example of how they wanted IT projects and responsibilities managed. And because of that, they were going to just let me keep doing the good job I was doing and not add any more for me to do. Said that is almost word for word what the Vice President in charge of the meeting said.

My real secret is no meetings to waste my time and get too many bad ideas to have to mull thru.

But I ain't gonna relax until the time of layoffs has passed and the dust has settled.
