put a piece of foam padding in between the curtain rod and the wall

I have a tile floor in my laundry room and it's not possible to position the machines so that none of the feet are in a grout line. I cut up the scraps of the non-slip carpet liner that I have under my living room rug, stacked a few of them together and then shoved that under the feet that are on a grout line. Worked for the last 6 years to keep the washer dryer in place and quiet.

What does Frank's company do? Is there any overlap between it and Spacely or Cogswell? What do you do? Do you work in an admin role of some kind that doesn't require much specialized knowledge or training? If so, I'd be pretty worried. If there's a team in one of these other subsidiaries that does basically the same thing as your team, the odds that both will be maintained are low.

otoh, if you're working a specialized role on a team that doesn't really have a counterpart, then I'd be cautiously optimistic but paying close attention to gossip and changes. In my experience, those changes start at the top and can take a while to work their way down to the common folk. The fact that Frank is being kept around is a good sign, imo, but if he seems to fade away, then I'd start to worry a bit.
