Some have asked as to why I have been working so diligently on my resume. The story is finally starting to roll out into the public realm, but for those who know me, I haven’t been very quiet about it. It always strikes me funny that public entities keep things so secret from the taxpayers who pay for their jobs. Down the road, they can’t figure out for the life of them as to why people have developed this sense of “hate” for them. Perhaps it’s just another example of the sick, capitalistic society we live in that I constantly find myself arguing against. Granted that I’m not the best guy at it, but “that’s the way it is” gets on my nerves faster than country music does. And that’s pretty fast.
Consolidation is going to happen. The questions of if and when are no longer apart of the plan. The agenda is being set next week, and all control has been vacated by everyone I work with. The timeline will be dictated, new bosses will appear, some people will lose their jobs, others will shift into new positions, and the local public radio station in this area will not be as local as it used to be. In less than a year, a completely revamped, statewide network will replace what has been here, at least in this area, since 1919. Everything that is here now will stay here. The difference will be a small group of people controlling what they believe is in the best interest for the state.
Where does this put me? I’m not sure. The memo is sitting here on my desk, and I see places where I will fit in. I’m told I’ll still be here, but no one has any solid answers. However, I saw it coming. My search has been going on for a few weeks. Change is the inevitable. Finding out where you are within that is the adventure. I’m just getting impatient to see what’s going to happen next.
