Need help trying to figure this work issue out.

Former co worker from another area pings me and says she needs to tell me something. Ok sure go ahead. She says she would rather tell me offline.

Mmm ok. Is it bad? Neither she says. Ok.

So she emails me at home and says that somebody I work with, who doesn't know I know her tells her that the reason I'm posting for another job is because I'm losing my privileges.

This baffled me. The only privilege I can think of is working from home.

I applied to another area the other day for the first time in 3 yrs.

This past Fri I was knocked offline at least 3 times. I had some gaps but they were accounted for by me calling tech support. They gave me a temp password for the whole mainframe instead of just one system. So once I got in on one system, the others I could not. Thus I had to call again.

My bosses boss, while in town from Austin was at a meeting with us. We were all joking around and talking about the World Cup and he goes is that why you were offline so long on Fri. We laughed and I mentioned me calling support and I can bring the cell phone bill. He seemed cool, didn't pull me to the side etc.

The only logical conclusion is it has to be this.

Any thoughts out there? Am I reading too much into this?

And I just found out this was a conversation she had 2 months ago. Doesn't sound right.

He has been around and knows alot but if it was two months ago, I have worked from home a ton.

I'll tell you what a psychiatrist told me. A little paranoia is healthy.

Do you think she is interested in your job? Even though your boss joked with you, you may want to watch your back for a while.

I think my job is safe. I handle far too much for someone new to take on. Plus I do all the weird international escalation issues nobody else will touch.

Create a niche' and it tends to protect you. But this day and age, who knows.

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
