Job Status – Bad
So in case you haven’t seen the Countdown Timer in the right-hand side of the screen, I’m facing possible unemployment very soon. Our current contract is up on Feb 28th so we were expecting news of who won by now. Now we got word that they are going to release the name of the company on March 15th. In the meantime, they have extended our bridge contract. WTF?! I see nothing but red flags now.
1. If they wanted to keep us, why extend the contract? Why not just award it to us instead of waiting? Why, because I think this will be an upset. We’re all thinking that they are going with another company.
2. At our staff meeting yesterday, the customer expressed trying to revamp some software of theirs to mimic what our tool does. They have been using our software for the past 3 years and have had no problems. Now all of a sudden, they want to stop using ours and edit their existing software to do what ours has been successfully doing. To me that sounds like they are trying to cut my company out completely.
Maybe I’m being paranoid but I don’t think so. The writing is on the wall. Even our boss told us to put our resumes out so that is what I’ve been doing. Scary…. Stay tuned. I’m sure something interesting will come up. Wish me luck and/or pray for me. A sister can’t be jobless right now. I got bills….
