Reorganization
-
I am in the IT division of a large company (over 20000 employees nation wide). This is the first time I have encountered a reorganization that affects me. The team I am currently in (about 15 people) will be moved under a new director. I am a senior developer with no management responsibility and I don't think they will let me go. Just wondering if there is anything I should do or watch out for during such changes? Thanks.

There's nothing wrong with being a bit pro-active, assuming you like your job enough to want to keep it. I'd suggest doing a sort of "targetted" resume. Write down what your responsibilities have been to date, your accomplishments, etc., and hand them personally to the new director (not via email), saying something like "Since we're starting a new relationship here, I'd like to help you become familiar with what I've been doing on the project." without making it sound like your kissing up. If you do it right, your new director will find the information very helpful and may even get the clue that he/she should ask each of the team members to do that. And besides, he/she should be impressed with your initiative, helpfulness, and intention to keep your job. Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO

You should try to meet your new boss as soon as possible to see if there will new new procedures, new technical orientations ... Keep an open mind, changes are sometimes hard ...
