Journal entry: corporate culture with smoke and mirrors.
This morning I had to gather my colleagues to go to the airport for our journey home.
On our way there, it was revealed to me that one of the spouses of "upper upper management" during an offsite after-party revealed alot of secrets that foretold eliminating jobs locally and moving them to other countries or putting other family members in charge.
While we sensed it, it pretty much was the final nail into the coffin of how disposable a department or group of people are. Two of the members of this group are my close colleagues.
I feel like utter sh*t and feel like the seeds of mistrust are now sprouting in full.
And now I'm questioning everything that my boss has said or "hinted" at. Am I putting in my time and passion to line the pockets of the upper upper management ? Or am I trying to grow with my colleagues to build a damn good company that we can be proud of?
I really need some kind of reassurance of the bigger picture because "keeping secrets" from each other isn't the right way at all. I tried calling one of them today and it went straight to voicemail and now I'm worried about him.
