To quote the The Clash: "Should I stay or should I go now?"
Need some advice. I work for a very large company in a specialized role and have been there for 2 years. About 3 months ago, we got a new CIO, and there was an upper management shakeup. The new regime decided they wanted to get rid of on-prem servers and either move to Cloud or SAAS Hosting. If they go to the cloud, I am safe, but if what I oversee goes to SAAS, then I am done immediately. They have not been communicating what they are learning, and told me back in late October, I would know by Thanksgiving, which became X-Mas, then became the 1st of the year. Now I am being told that in early Spring, they will decide. I find it incredibly stressful, and it really put a damper on my Holidays and trying to enjoy them with young kids at home. So I am looking for some non-biased feedback. Should I hang tight, or should I start aggressively looking?
Just to add a quick edit - The stress has really gotten to me. I have voiced my concerns and even had a few outbursts on conference calls. One of the most frustrating things is I have to constantly ask (once a week) one a status update, and they act like I am being unreasonable for wanting to know.
the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That’s the key detail here. This probably isn’t the last word on it. Others will probably see it differently.
Not gonna lie, this reads stronger on paper than in practice which turns this into more of a debate We’ll see how people react over time. Others will probably see it differently.
Putting bias aside, the direction makes sense but the details are messy which explains why reactions are split That’s the key detail here.
If we’re being honest, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s where the disagreement starts Curious how this plays out. At least from my perspective.
To be fair, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where people will push back That’s just how it reads to me. Others will probably see it differently.
Honestly, this feels rushed rather than thought through so the response doesn’t surprise me Time will tell.
Looking at this, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that friction is hard to ignore Time will tell.
At this point, the main issue seems to be how this is handled That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
I get the idea, the wording alone shifts how people read this Others will probably see it differently.
From a neutral view, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that tension shows up immediately That part stands out. Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s the impression it gives me.
Reaction: French is so hard
Honestly, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why the comments look the way they do Hard to say where this lands long term.
Looking at this, the follow-through is what will decide this That’s what makes this interesting. This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s just my read on it.

Honestly, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that friction is hard to ignore This could age very differently in a week. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
