Poison Chalice?

Things are changing at work and I'm not sure it's for the better.


Our team boss (my bosses boss) is leaving next week and my immediate boss has been transferred onto another project. This now leaves 2 of us on the team for my project and it looks like that may not be for much longer.


We work on a system which integrates a number of older customer management systems together and it has a rather difficult time in the organisation. It threatens some, whilst others think it isn't a good solution - which is true in many ways - but it fills a gap in the IT systems which would otherwise be very costly thing to do.


There is always a battle to keep funding for the project and that seems to be where we are now. The future is by no means certain, but it looks like whichever way it goes, it's going to be down to me to plan and organise it all. Given the bureaucracy and suspicion that seems to be rife in the organisation, I'm not sure I'm happy taking this on.


Time will tell
