I’ve been in company 25+ years. A design person, zero interest in management as people are involved!
No real need to work, over 60, work from home, paid well, office a couple of times a month thanks Covid. All good.

Previous manager 10 years, good guy, finger on the pulse. Still speak to him daily.

8 weeks ago a shakeup, moved to a new manager.
Next time I was in the office, 6 weeks ago, I said hello, friendly enough. Said he will catch up with me to see what I do.

That was it, not heard from him since!
He does sign the Crime Sheets.

Nothing personal, another guy I know works for him, ‘light touch’!

Guess I’ll carry on, unless called into the office more etc then will call it a day.

It sounds ideal, but also a little disconcerting, weird really.

Saying that, he has set up a meeting at the end of April for a chat (via Teams)!

Just different really.

Still had no contact since a quick hello at the end of January !

Suits me at my time of life (can retire but why not carry on for a bit longer)

It’s a funny old game.
