So I met with my dept Director yesterday for a half hour.

He said he will think about my proposal for a reporting structure change.

He listened and was attentive and seemingly sympathetic.

However, at one point he did ask if I thought perhaps some of the tension I feel with other cross functional teams is self-inflicted. That came straight from my annual review, from a colleague's review of me, and from my boss's mouth.

So, ultimately, they are blaming ME for my boss's inability to head up this function within the company, alongside me.

So the blame game continues.... people in my company sure like to place blame and pass the buck.

I applied for another job yesterday.
