What do you do now?

Congratulations! I hope it's a bike friendly environment.

working at Cisco as a cloud architect.

biked to all of his interviews. Figured that he's not going to work anywhere he can't bike to, so might as well screen for it.

Happy days forming those clous in the sky.

not aware you were looking to make a change. I hope the new place brings you joy.

had to mediate parallel concerns of his then-existing responsibilities as the manager as his team and the desire to leave. Didn't want the coworkers to freak out till it was going to be happening.

ergo, I was fairly quiet about the job hunt.

Understandable. And then they all freaked? :-/

well, I was sumarily un-friended on Facebook by a director. My favorite people were not happy.

but, in the end, I'm only the middle in a long chain of people resigning because they don't know what to do with the office.

I hope your new workplace has better direction.

pinhole up and left a while back didn't he?

"what to do with the office".... ?

yeah, Pinhole's at HP now. He's important enough that it hit the news.

he pretty much managed himself out of a job. Which is, BTW, the job of a good leader. The problem was that in a growing company, there's always something new for a manger to shift to doing.

transitioned technical leadership to a dev under him, removed unnecessary process, helped make things run themselves... so there wasn't anything else to do with that product.

and there wasn't really anything new to do, not without moving to San Antonio.

I was good like that...
