In my dream, I am working for a company that is changing their office arrangement. There are two buildings as part of this change -- and one of them is far superior to the other. I have just found out that I will be assigned to have my office relocated to the other location.
I make a phone call to try and find out:
-- why I've essentially been demoted this way, and
-- if I can talk someone out of this and get myself reassigned to the better building.
I am now talking to a person who might be able to help with this. He (I think it's a "he") tells me "There's no way in the world you're going to be moved to this building."
I ask him why. He asks me back "Would you like to know how upper management thinks of you?" And I tell him "Of course I would."
He tells me that I am thought of as being far too casual in getting requisite paperwork done in a timely manner plus other behavior characteristics that this suggests strongly someone with poor work habits and a lack of commitment to the corporation and its objectives. The suggestion -- not stated as such, but pretty clear by now -- is that I should consider myself lucky to still have a job, that there is little or nothing I can do to change anyone's opinion of me and my work. And maybe I should save everyone the trouble of firing me and just quit.
