i'm in this really funny situationship at work where we're technically interviewing a random director.

except that this random director is going to be my new boss. except also: i'm "publicly" not supposed to know that they're going to be my boss. the only reason i know that b/c $currentgrandboss told me and trusts me enough to keep my lips zipped and (there not here lol) and not tell his temporarily secret reorg war plans to the team.

so the mission really is:

(a) interview the new director
(b) (secret objective) show $currentgrandboss i can keep a secret and play dumb the entire time interviewing lol
(c) (secret objective) report back to $currentgrandboss that new director would be good (or not) for the team from an underling's perspective. in his perspective i have a real stake at this so i'm less likely to fake BS an answer.
(d) (secret objective) do a reverse interview back on the director in the sense of making myself look really good so we hit the ground running with them having a favorable opinion of me (and also less likely to call everyone back into office).

... i might be the only fucker that enjoys corporate politics.... XD
(it helps $currentgrandboss is a genuinely good person.)

I love having work secrets; it's fun in a weird way. For months I knew I was taking over my old boss's job, which was so hard to keep from him and not snip "it doesn't matter, I'll be in charge soon :D"

no corporate politics are fun as hell. and can be navigated as a force for good!!!! as you are doing yourself lmao

(though ngl i do also love the moments when someone's just like "fuck it, technically [x] is supposed to be under wraps but this is all so stupid" and just swipes away ten layers of subterfuge with one lazy pissed-off meeting lol)
