I don\’t think I should be still bitter after…what 4 months? But as I wandered quietly to the linkedin network, I discovered that a new interaction designer was working there. Geez, thanks.
My goal at one point was to not let any designers work for them. But well how would I prevent a designer anyway? I was irked. How dare they find someone that could replace me.
Still, I don\’t see how they could hire a designer. With all the dyanmicism and unresolved decision-making, what would happen? It takes more than a designer to turn the product around. It takes expert management. And if it\’s not them that can do it, then who can?
Besides, what would happen if I run into them? Do I slyly mention my newfound piece of knowledge? Do I politely congratulate them? Or do I slink away? Or do I unleash my building fury?
It\’s really not a breakup. It wasn\’t. But somehow it is to me. I take it personally.
