             Meeting my new manager before training my new manager
                                        
I finally met my new manager [1]! It's been … what? 3½ months? … since it was
announced. I decided to ask a VP (Vice President) of the Corporate Overlords
who was my actual manager, M1 [2] (who was promoted) or M2  (who is to
replace the promoted manager). The VP said M2, and that since I have yet to
meet him, I should invite him to the next department meeting. Why it should
be up to me to invite M2 to our daily meeting and not M1 is apparently beyond
my pay grade, but I invited him.

And it turns out the situation is still … complicated. M1 is still my
“manager” for some things for the forseeable future, and M2 is my “manager”
for the other things not handled by M1 for the forseeable future. But
overall, the meeting went well. We shall see how things go.
