Today, I was rather randomly introduced to the new guy who was hired to do my job. A younger guy, with a worse work experience, was hired to do part of my job, and with a more senior title. And reports into the CEO.

I had heard before that he was hired to do my job, but no one gave me his name, so I couldn’t stalk him until today.

Someone asked me if I had connected with him, and I was like “Huh, who?” And then she said that he had reached out to her, on the basis that someone suggested he speak to get briefed on the recent M&A transaction, which I led. She found it weird, and reached out to me, as she didn’t want to share my work.

Great communication and management from the leaders in the company. My company is a pretty special place.

I told this to my friend and ex colleague. And he was like, fucks sake, I’m so sorry. And said he knows the guy – he’s the dick from [XX] – they fired a bunch of people recently. Yay me.
