I think my time with the company is coming to an end
It's very sad but after the previous owners sold the company to a bigger enterprise, the culture and the work atmosphere has shifted. It's funny but I'm a one man show in IT (management) doing literally everything from support to management of devices to cost analysis to risk analysis; it's a lot but I enjoy it. the new company that bought us out outsources their IT and tbh I'm not sure what they do... they create Google Workspace account and give IT support... but everything else I don't think they do.
Anyways, couple of the management are getting cut (not surprised) and I think my time is coming up as well. They are asking me to be more of a dev for CRM that they want to use to streamline and the IT portion well... I guess the outsource IT is going to take care of that; they'll have to divide my work to like 3 different sections.
All of the cuts within the management is due to overlap of duty with the new company and i'm guessing my duty overlaps with the outsource IT? The reason why i'm saying this is because the new Director in charge of the company (not the one that bought us) is asking all current management what I do. I've been with the company or couple of years and I built the entire infrastructure from nothing (and i'm still nonexistent i guess lol). I have a couple big projects that I will be a part of to help migrate platforms to what the new company wants us to use for their day-to-day operation (non IT related).
I'd like to know everyone's opinion, how long I have with this company. I'm working on my own MSP so hopefully i'll have enough clients to get me going but that could take months. Also, where do IT Managers and Directors go after this? I feel like when you're a technician or supervisor, there's more open jobs but as manager or director, where do we go from here? Sales engineering?
