Freaking out. Boss bailed

Today we got the bomb that our manager bailed and took another
position with the company that aquired us. He's been telling me for
months to trust him, that he will stand behind me. So much for
someones word when it comes down to it.

Now I get to report to our division director. We do not get along. In
short, I can't stand him. He's already got me doing "coordinator"
work and had me arrange our weekly staff meetings.

Another of our group also bailed and took a position with a project
manager in another part of our group. God, I'm so ****ed off I can't
see straight. I've been doing project manager work for her. Actually,
I'm still working on a project plan tonight that's due Monday. For
her.

Our old boss told us today that he is going to have the diversity
director of the new company meet with us all to help us find
opportunities within the company. If that doesn't spell out that our
jobs are doomed, I don't know what does.

No meaningful advice to offer, but our pair are sending calming purrs
your way along with "get a great job soon" purrs.
