New adventures

Well this is it. I have now done 3.5 years at TEAMworks and its time for me to toss in the towel. It has been enriching to say the least. I don't think I have been working in a more tolerance, patient and mentally challenging environment in my life.

My motivation, focus and technological evangelism took a hefty smack on the head somewhere along the road but I am finally over that now.

I joined this company with the wish and dream that I could create something from nothing utilizing all my collected experience in all sorts of technological, social and educational settings but it seems that all the effort was for nothing. There are so many things that went wrong along the way so there is no need to detail it here. But worth mentioned maybe...
...the struggle with finding experienced and skilled staff and the problem with trying to keep in all together because nobody liked each other or to scared to say anything
...the boss/CEO who decided that nobody knew anything, who didn't wanted to listen to reason and advice from obvious expertise and who went his own way with his penny wise, pound foolish mentality
...the ignoring of my requests of key personnel and skills in interaction/graphical design with the motivation that "we can do it ourselves, it takes to long time, we have to go GLOBAL NOW!!"
After 3.5 years of working here my boss is someone you are afraid of. Every person that has left the company (or has been fired) refuses to come back to the office to visit us less the boss is not there.

Hmmm... its nice to be away from that hellhole. Initially I didn't really dislike everything that had to do with that company. So, it has been said. Its done I can move on.
