I can't believe they're doing this idiot's shuffle again!

I spent the last two years learning the ins and outs of my job and making contacts.

They're throwing that right out the window.

I just hope they don't send me to work in personnel - people calling in sick and narcing on their co-workers all the time.

I think accounting would be worse - crunching numbers and stuff.
