Time for a change!

Well, it finally happened! I've changed job. After being let go by my previous employer due to a change of ownership in the corporation, the new owner figured that the product that I was so busy at maintaining and improving for the past five years is so far ahead of the competition that he no longer needed an IT department.

Yep, although not large anymore (it shrunk to from 5 to 3 people including me in the past six months), the whole thing was canned. The thinking does not make sense to me or anybody else who I talked to. No matter, this is actually a good change for me.

I have been hired right away by a much larger corporation as the manager for application support. This is definitely a change for me, but one in the direction I was aiming. As a functional manager, I no longer have to be hands on anymore. The job description for this position does not include any type of hands on technical work (ie: programming of any sort or network/system/security administration). I now have about a douzain people reporting to me, therefore this job is all about management.

So, I shall now post about that experience instead. Hopefully, I'll be a bit more regular...

Later all!
