It is a funny old world. Not so long ago, I worked in a small team of four project managers. The team got disbanded when the manager took voluntary redundancy. The older and wiser one moved into another area, leaving me and the younger more dynamic one working on projects. I got moved on to something else and eventually got fed up and left. Now the older one is taking voluntary redundancy, leaving just the one.
Two years ago, the money would have been on the younger one leaving first to seek his fortune and get away from the chaos that is Stoke Council, before he became institutionalised. It is quite weird that in fact it was the more 'mature' members of the team that have taken the jump, and all for the better it turned out.
I hope he finds a way off the ship before it sinks and takes him with it.
Just heard that the Head of Department is leaving immediately. A rush for the first lifeboat?
