Natural Born Employee

-There are going to be changes in the organization chart soon!
~Really? why?

~How could you not know what is going on, you are a senior manager!
-Yes! But I requested to be excluded of this exercise, it is not my area, I am a technical manager; though a senior one, but still I am a technical person. I do not understand corporate level strategic plans, and frankly I do not intend to waste my time understanding it
