And maybe the consultants will be really good.......

Maybe I do always expect to get my way. Maybe I don't like change. Maybe I over think every decision. But there are more decisions going on at work and it reminded me of this from the previous post:

Every time you decide, there is loss, no matter how you decide. It's always a question of what you cannot afford to lose.

There is a loss in every decision. Some good things will go away. Are they worth losing because of whatever the perceived good is in the change? Especially if they have to take down walls?

Anyway, I'm on a bit of a rampage because I'm afraid those costs, what we are going to lose, won't even be part of the discussion. Things will just have to fit and make do instead of looking at the whole picture of how things will change. Are we going to rearrange areas to accommodate this change to make it work well for the patrons of every age, or is it all about something else? I know it won't even be decided for some time, but I was afraid no one will listen later and so had to make a point now. And I said so.

Someone made a deal with me. If I drop it for now, I will be a part of the process, the discussions, when they start to happen. Will I deal with it if they say my concerns don't matter or can't be worked into the new plan. Grudgingly. But I feel they at least need to be said, to be out there. Or I'm not doing my job.
