opened door

today i heard that my manager, the one that's been struggling to keep up with the moving target here with the team i am on; the one that tries so hard to be the best that he could be; the one that obviously didn't have tools or the skills to win here at this company; the one that is a great guy; with a big heart, and a nice family; the one that methodically deteriorated the team here unbeknownst to him - he was let go.
we were told it was mutual. we were told he and they made the decision together. we all knew it was just dust. we all knew it was with the greatest respect, and honor to that manager. because we all knew that he wasn't the best fit for the position.

and this event, albeit not too surprising, shook the team a little bit today. but this event is also a chance. this is what many of the corporate folks have been talking about with me, once the position opened up again. this event is making me re-evaluate the upward climb in corporate america.

again.

but this, this event is a door that has been opened. typically that means opportunity awaits.

and i think i'm ready.
