There are personalities who would just shrink back into the woodwork, try not to get noticed, and ride this out for as long as possible and see it as "free money".

I'm not that way.

I grew up working in Silicon Valley, where you ARE your job. And while I have shaken off the unhealthy aspects of that perspective and have healthy boundaries nowadays, there's no denying that I have a need to work and have a task list of things to accomplish that will provide my unique values to a project.

I like being needed and appreciated.

With this big sales re-org, maybe I get the chance to rescope my work/role, and do something where I feel needed and valued? Or maybe I find that at a new job? Either way, I'm looking with positive energy to the future...
