As title says, my director, my initial hiring manager, was fired, presumably for underperformance. He was apparently pretty broadly disliked, since he came through a startup acquisition and ruffled feathers early on and had continual territory conflicts with the guy who eventually took his place.

So my director was very suddenly fired one morning. Just gone. New director shows up.

In the shuffle a few things happen. My manager, who manages two teams, will only manage one team, the team I am not on. The team of 3 I am on will be merged with a team of 4 from his side. These teams happened to be working on the same problem space. (They should’ve been one team from the beginning, but due to territory issues and bad blood, they weren’t.)

The new director met with me, presumably to figure out what team I will be landing on. The conversation turned out very poorly. I had excellent performance reviews and feel very respected by my peers and manager. I thought he would be reaching out to convince me to stay on that team, which he may have been at first. By the end he seemed intent on making my team out to be underperforming — while my director got fired, this team was performing fine, was my understanding, but my manager’s other team was on fire.

So what can I expect might happen? As of the day before my director got fired, I felt very secure in my career. As of now, I feel like I’m on this new director’s shit list.

I would probably change companies if not for the fact that the companies stock price tripled in the last year. And I would probably move organizations if not for the fact that I work in a specialty that I can’t work in elsewhere in the company.

This is a little off brand for hacker news, but thought folks maybe will enjoy it as alternate Santa lore going into the holidays.
