I'd suggest thinking about this a little deeper... What department would you complain to.

'Human Resources'...

Trying to not sound like I shout at clouds, but we do live in an age where a job (which is a social collective of people that all strive for a common goal) is still using viewpoints where the people that make up a organisation are a literal commodity, treated as such with processes and guarding around doing the best thing for the organisation with the person held second. It's 'just how it is'. I would say it's getting better, however it's not Starfleet.

Given that, this is an unfortunate series of events. The 'business' won't 'care', yeah sure the people who made the decision here may not feel great about this timing, but the business won't care, and at best will likely be utterly unaffected by it.

:) do remember though that the 'business' is a collective deliberate hallucination, and the excuses that people give for these things are only excused when people within that shared environment allow it, and clearly where you are this is allowed so poke the bear with caution. Either swallow it, get out or actively try and show how this could have been done differently.
