I was busy getting stuck into my new role when the news came that there will be no budget for me to hire anyone.
That knocked the wind out of me! So now I will be Manager of Nothing.

Manager of Nothing
I got a little promotion last month to become a manager of a team. That was pretty exciting. I have to do proposals and a competitor's analysis to see what everyone else is doing and what tools they are using.

That knocked the wind out of me! So now I will be Manager of Nothing.

Well, you're gonna be the manager of yourself first of all: you can order yourself to do something and make sure that yourself really does it...
Maybe I need to be appointed as Manager of Nothing too, might be the time I finally do what I say I should! :-)
Go on training courses, loads of training courses. Might as well have some jollies out of the office!
TAKE THE MONEY AND RELAX!
Good idea, TT, but Nokia cut their training budget a couple of years ago...
You can still do it. Human Remains will have self paced self study courses you can book time to do :)
Sounds ideal; managing people is a crap way to make a living anyway, they're always disagreeable and rebellious.
Take the money and work on your own cool ideas, then quit and make your fortune elsewhere ;)
Take the money? What money?
Elizabeth, are you holding out on me???
