With no context, I'm sure that post made me sound like a serious primmadonna. No Harm, no foul.
It probably helped to write it down, because yesterday I met privately with one of the Technical Directors about doing the Director of Engineering gig instead of indivdual contributor. That would mean instead of reporting to him, he would report to me. We agreed to think about it for a few days.
Tomorrow I will probably meet with each of the other Technical Directors about this idea. My proposal is to defer the position of VP of Engineering for a year and let me do the Director of Engineering thing. I believe I can build a consensus for this, especially since they have rejected so may VPE candidates. It's hard to hire your own boss. So, I figure they might want to live with the devil they know (me) than the one they don't. It helps that I have a CS PhD and 10 more years of experience than any of them. And, I'm not a devil at all, but a consensus builder.
The whole thing is trickly, no matter how you slice it.
