I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

Certainly not talking about the Gunners so who are you talking about?
Local 5 a side perhaps?
Even though my army time I dealt with several code structures, this one was too cryptic for me. I liked it anyway because it gives me food for thought and it soaks up the wine.
It is difficult to tell the whole story in a Haiku – perhaps I should have used a longer form.
I work in a small team of five and have two managers who job share, one on 4 days and the other 3 days a week. Yesterday was their last day with the team as they move into new roles. I only found out they were leaving on Monday and haven’t really had much time to process it all and am understandably upset. I am very fond of both of them and will miss them dearly. I have had so many managers over the years and I will bounce back, but at the moment I am feeling a little damaged.
Losing team members is going to be understandably upsetting and more so when you didn’t know it was going to happen.
Give yourself a little time to process it . . .
Changes are always hard but inevitably happen whether we like them or not. In my sixth decade I’m just starting to accept that all things come to an end. I can empathize with your situation as my time with my work group is coming to an end. My manager found out when I told her that I was informed that my position is moving to another part of the organization. No one communicates well any more.
I will adapt and survive, heavens, I have been continuously employed since 1989. I do invest in my colleagues though and it is always sad to see them move on.
