When the call came from upstairs, I was surprised.
But I figured the big bosses wouldn’t waste their time on firing me.
That’s what my boss was for. As soon as the elevator doors opened, it felt different in the executive floors. They have a zone controlled HVAC system and all sorts of convenient amenities. Not to say that the floor I work on is some sort of sauna because it’s so not. However, it’s not anything close to the executive floors. Speaking of zone controlled Heating, and cooling, I noted on my way into the small conference room that it had its own temperature control on the wall. My boss was the one to greet me first and the other bosses nodded hello. They got right to the point. They wanted me to head up an office that needed new leadership. This is not the sort of opportunity that one turns down. So I quickly jumped on it. Of course, that didn’t go well with my spouse. She loved it where we lived. Besides that, we had just completed the renovations on our current home. But it was those renovations that involved updating everything including the HVAC system. My partner was not happy but she understood that I didn’t have much of a choice in the decisions. After all, the opportunity came with bigger and better offers. It’s funny though that the first project in the new, larger and better home we purchased was to replace the HVAC system as this seems to be a thing in most houses.
