I dreamed that due to budget cuts two people I deal with the most at another organization were to be laid off. I asked in vain for the name of the guy who was calling on the phone to announce this, so I had to hand the phone to my boss before finding out who was calling. After the call my boss was surprised to hear that I actually work with these guys every day because he only occasionally does. Then I suggested whether we could hire them, but no budget. I had been a bit worried that if hired I would be demoted because they are more qualified than me, but I thought it would be in best interest of our project. Thus I was both disappointed and relieved by the lack of budget. I already thought this was a lost cause when I heard that one of them was challenging the CEO or director or whatever her title was for the control of the entire organization now. Informally I wished him well, though I did not not whether he was qualitified for that position, formally our organization had to appear impartial because we would have to work with whoever won the conflict.
