Well that was fun while it lasted (again)

#1 Post by SpacemanSpiff » Tue Oct 04, 2016 11:45 am

Time to look for another job.

The powers that be at the company that bought the company I work for (and started in May, though technically I am still in "temp" status) has decided to move the small operations that are here into their HQ in Connecticut. This will be done by April 2017, though my job will likely be gone at the end of December.

At least I get a good lead time, and the agency is already on the case. I suspect this was always the plan, or I would have become permanent by now. And at least I learned another computer system, and got a trip to Germany out of it.

Now, please excuse me while I extract what feels like a boot in my gut.

Ouch. So sorry for your troubles. --Bob

Geez, you'd think people would recognize talent. Good luck with the new hunt. +~ heading your way.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Sorry to hear that; I've been in your shoes far too recently.

Good luck on the next search.

They can recognize talent. They just don't want to pay for it.
