Transitional P
I am transitional P. My new position was officially announced today (see the other blog for details)...but I will post what the producer I'm replacing said:
it won't be a problem. and tom will help you with ideas. i'llgive you tips on how to do an A+ job, and an A job, and a B job,and a passable job. know what i mean? it'll be fine. and thebeauty is, the big cheeses love tom. so you won't hear muchcriticism. i'm gonna miss living in that fantastical alternateuniverse, but it's time for me to face reality, and to sharethe warm fuzzy un-reality with someone else.
Unfortunately Diva isn't happy. We just had a really unpleasant phone conversation. Where basically she said I betrayed her, and the fact that I didn't trust her with this information means we aren't friends the way she thought we were.
I am crying and Paul is super angry. I told him she made me feel like MICHAEL used to make me feel. Why is the fact that I didn't tell her about this new transition in my career is a betrayal of her? He could always make me feel bad even if something was in my best interest.
My boss, the man who basically signs my paychecks, told me not to say anything. What could I fucking do?
I just...am sooooooooo upset right now I can't even blog about anything else. Paul is so mad I think he might punch Diva.
She made me feel like the lowest of the low...like I plotted against her. Look, I was told this was happening, and the fact that I'm happy about it is a plus.
I hate her right now. I am no match against master manipulators and she is definitely on Michael's level. I wish I could say I was joking but I'm not. It's that bad.
I did what I had to do to keep the relatively high paying job I have. She says she would never have "endangered me". Well it's easy to say that when the threat has been taken away. I am so upset about how the conversation with her went. She made me apologize for "hurting her". You have to understand, she knew about the HR thing, even if she doesn't want to admit it.
I am really upset and this is just bullshit.
Wow Paul is super mad.

just think of it this way - if the roles were reversed, do you really think she would have told you?
errr no.
not to say that either case is a betrayal - P, it's BUSINESS. it's WORK. tell her you hope she knows that you cherish (insert whatever affectionate verb) her friendship and (repeat insert) your working relationship, but that she has to understand that it wasn't up to you to spill the beans before anything was official.
don't let her upset what should be a euphoric transition
