Company X first post

So, I haven't posted much since leaving TXT.  Company X has also been a roller coaster, almost since I started in 2013, the turnover express has run.  My team was as high as 7, in 2014 it was down to 4, now it's me plus offshore support.  Last spring and summer, I was concerned about a layoff, in June the layoff fire had gasoline poured on it.  But, a peer and I survived, I thought then and now that we were spared because the central IT team could not support our BUs.

Then in the middle of summer, a BU spinoff was announced and my peer and other IT staff were sent with them, so down to me.  I support the direction of the central IT group, but it's hard.  I'm stuck in the middle, trying to support their objectives while listening to local people complain about service.  I tell myself that I'm happy, yet I have applied for 6 other external and internal positions in the last year.  I have had a couple of interviews, and several of the positions were closed and not filled.  But two surprises lately, a training trip to Seattle and a raise, amazing.  Now I may have an opportunity to move to a BU as a data analyst.  We'll see how that goes.  

I have low expectations and try to stay on the radar in a positive way, but I think I come to work everyday expecting my badge to not open a door.
