An interesting and somewhat confusing time at work these days, integrating new people who are transferring into our facility from another company facility that's being shut down. Trying to get a feel for their personalities and ways. I've yet to identify any homicidal lunatics or serial backstabbers.
Feeling some sympathy for some of our usual faces who are losing money in the process due to a service time adjusted seniority system and being bumped from higher paying jobs that they have filled for several years. It's all unfolded in two waves about two months apart and just as people were seemingly getting accepting and adjusted to the first batch of new faces and changes, the second wave came washing in. It has to be frustrating for those affected.
What makes it more difficult is that people have been and still are asking questions about the process and the future of the process, where no definitive answers have been given. There's just various rumors flying about causing levels of ongoing angst in some minds. There needs to be a informational meeting or some literature handed out that gives final answers. People now want to know!
I have mixed feelings as it's been helpful in some ways for what I need to get accomplished daily but it also just feels unfair to other people who I've worked with for years.
