[Misc] Changes for changes sake.

Where I work, I am situated in an office apart from all the other Project Managers and close to the manufacturing area that I have to visit often, as it comes under my wing.
I've got a free run of things and can use the internet freely to access this site amongst others for work, which is a distinct advantage, hehe.
It has been decided that I must now move up to the main office part, where I will have to share a room with 3 others.
I will have nowhere to spread out, I have to read lots of plans and drawings so I need this and it will no longer be available to me, I have bookcases with samples and files which will have to stay put, as there will be no room for them, so I will have to make many trips back here to look at them.
I like to have Classic FM playing quietly in the background, that will not change, keeps me sane.
I will be surrounded by others and have to make small talk, which I hate and will have to listen to trivial bullcrap.
It is bound to affect my performance, as I am happy with the way things are.
There is no outside window where I am going and the place gets stinking hot in the summer.
Changes for changes sake and not going to be happy.
I know I just got to live with it, but will be thinking about moving on a s a result.
Am I just being precious ?

Maybe a bit, but why are they making you move? If your files and work stuff cannot move with you why can’t you stay put?
Have you expressed your dissatisfaction for this change?

I'm a contract PM looking for next role - where do I sign ....
Australia.

Australia.

I have, but the owner of the business is rather like a petulant child and won't be told anything and when he wants something he wants it now, 'stamps feet'.
It will be an inconvenience, but will have to be done for said reason.
Maybe he wants everyone within shouting distance !
Thinking about going back to being self employed on the tools, won't have to deal with twats like him then.
Before I took this on, I was self employed for 28 years, I would have told him to **** off then, still tempted to now.

Go to HR, say you have not been consulted and therefore been constructively dismissed, get a wodge of compensation and take it and go back on the tools.

Just might work over here that, if HR wasn't a clueless bint that always has a fag hanging out the corner of her mouth.
Her response to everything is, 'Huh !'

Hmmm, maybe your employers have got wind of the fact that you spend all day listening to the radio and browsing the net... :lolol:

Obviously can’t be trusted to work on his own. The others will soon bring you to your knees in compliance with corporate dictates.
Leave before you get fired.

Well the boss is going to know your views now you've shared them on the internet so it could be time for a move back onto the tools anyway!!!

I very much doubt that he would read this, German, not a football fan, in Australia, and I have already made my views clear.

I brought in more work last year than anyone else, so, If this move proves detrimental then in a way I would have made my point.
