Paul,
Not wishing to give false hope but I have also seen wiser managers (they
are rare though) realise thier mistake and try and rectify it a few
weeks/months later, I know about feeling valued, the company I work for
now was only 50 people when I joined and it was the first time I worked
for a small company, I can make decisions and implement them without
going through umpteen departments, I did have to remind them recently
though that I have much larger responsibility than they realise - we are
an IT company and it wouldn't exist without data, hasn't stopped them
gradually reducing my team size, which at first I could cover the slack
but now I can't so people will have to wait, I hate that but I guess I
will stay until forced to move.
I often say there are two types of people those who create sh*t and
those who clear it up, having been a clearer upper for 35 years I think
I would favour becoming a third type of person who does neither :-).
I really hope things work out for you!

Sorry to hear about your predicament Paul, having survived under the
control of an investment company for 5 years our company has now been
just been bought by a large canadian enterprise - a real business,
things surely must get better for us and hopefully for you, My
grandmother used to say "things always work out for the best" and at
times its not easy to see but the phrase has always come true for me.
The problem is not only with short term investment it is also with
large rewards for top fliers who collect and leave before the
consequences of their changes have been realised, seen it many times
and it pees me off every time.

Thanks, Ian. Thing that really irritates me is that this was the best
job I've had. I had finally found a place where, at least until
recently, my input was valued, the users I supported adored me, and I
felt like I was really making a difference.
