just to my right….literally. Wednesday will be the guy beside me’s last day…there have probably been ten layoffs so far since December.
Today the departure of the AD in charge of web development work was announced (the guy beside me). And he scored a 3 month redundancy package (ie leave with pay!). Three months of sunshine (when it visits), lattes and pilates sounds like heaven. Maybe the ax wouldn’t be so bad? Though finding a replacement job in this climate would be slow going.
My review was delayed first due to our pitch and then a new business pitch last week. It’s tentatively scheduled again for tomorrow though I’m not holding my breath for it to go forward. There are way bigger fish to fry as the executive team tries to figure out how to play in this market. Scary!
I’m not pushing really, as my boss is a better politician than I and he and others have expressed that they’ll do what possible to keep me. He’s great with timing and so I’ll leave it to him. No sunshine, lattes or pilates days for me…yet.
