Well, it's official - my role at the SEC has been eliminated and I'm being demoted. The other manager role I had applied for I did not get, in favor of a candidate with less experience. At least I still have a job I guess - in this market, that's something. But I'm not going to pretend like I'm not completely crushed to watch five years of my work get flushed down the drain by folks who have neither the knowledge nor passion to see it continue.

The frustration of having just updated my resume into the new government format of two pages of bullet points, only to have to turn around and rewrite it into private sector format, is palpable.
