Wednesday - Rumour Control

I held my weekly team meeting today and told them about Anne's new 'troubleshooter'. I didn't expect the barrage of questions that followed.

'What will his job title be?' Kate asked.

'I don't know,'

'If he is going to be above you but under Anne. Will that make him Assistant Customer Service Manager. Or will he be Customer Service Manager and Anne become Customer Service Manager Manager?' From Dan.

'I haven't been advised of his official job title,'

'He's one of these hatchet men isn't he? He's going to be assessing our jobs so that they know who to cut,' said Gareth. 'It's P45's all round when he's finished!'

'Whatever happens will happen,' was Ted's fatalistic addition.

'Now that's just speculation. There are no plans to make anyone redundant.' I said. I felt like George to their Lenny.

Jo was quiet.

'Jo, do you have any questions about the new guy?'

She thought about this for a moment before answering.

'Is he good looking?' She said.
