My current boss (who was my previous boss) and I have worked together for 10 yrs ( I’m the npbie in this context) we all were analysts on the service desk for a small company.
This is the second time my current boss is my boss. I think/hope that’s enough backsstory. But should be enough to point out we’re all comfortable enough to call eacother a wanker when appropriate
Anyway old boss promoted me to his old position when he got promoted but also put my current boss in between me and him as both a safety net as this is my 1st ever gaffer role and gave my now boss a promotion being in charge of everything joining my reps and my now boss dept under 1 banner
Anyway. In slk I was with my old boss. And in an after work beer he asked me if I thought I could do my current boss’s job I said yes in a couple yrs. He laughed and said he reckoned 9 months
That’s dot 1
Last week my current gaffer told me off the record. (Onit awsome no one uses lemmy yet) he’s probably going to be moving jobs to a new stream completely away from my part of the business
The term same shit different day comes to mind. Culture is set at the top, moves and plans rarely go as well as intended. And that’s all OK so long as you keep solving problems and making money
Been interesting. Joind some dots at work this wee im. Nit sure I’m terefide or elated at.

It sounds like a good position to be in!! You are heading for promotion!! I hope it all works out for you!
Not holding my breath but I have let my mind wander in that direction
Guess it means if that doesn’t happen I am mature enough to seek out such opportunities
