Anyway, I was knocked for six the other week at catch up meeting with my boss. Turns out plans were being hatched under my nose - I was the comms guinea pig for where I work. Was there a need and at what level and how many type of thing. The answer is that comms is important, there is a need and it should play a large part in everything that this fledging charity gets up to. Nothing like acknowledging the importance of being marketing orientated.
The upshot is that they're happy with my work and want me to stay and they acknowledge that there is a need for someone at a senior role so they want to bring someone in to head up comms. I was speechless and was told that I had a few days to think about what it is that I want to do next. My contract is up at the end of March so it really is a case of decision time again. Put myself back out there as another stat on the unemployment figures or see how things go with new bird.
The prospect of being unemployed again wasn't attractive so staying put and seeing what happens next is the option that I am going with. I told my boss that as long as I liked the new person, once I had a bad experience with a supposedly inspirational boss being brought in who was quite frankly crap and it was demoralising and not something that I ever want to repeat again. Also, that I can find a role for myself that I may be happy with.
Lots to ponder yet again but it's all good :)
