Great Job Search, Part XIV

When I last noted my job situation, I was working part-time at the (Small Governmental Organization). I started that in January. Now, the dudes in charge of the (Small Governmental Organization) have decided to eliminate the part-time job, in order to save the (Small Governmental Organization) some money. I understand that three other positions, all full-time, were eliminated as well.

This wasn't handled at all well.

My supervisor (the IT Manager) and I were called into the conference room and we were informed of the decision, to take effect that day. That was the first clue that anything odd was going on for either the IT Manager or myself.

The IT Manager, a very nice lady (and quite bright, and fully qualified to be an IT Manager, unlike some other folks I've seen as IT Managers - and yes, you know who you are, and yes, I'm still peeved) was blind-sided by this - she had no idea that it was coming down the road.

That was Wednesday.

There's a couple of things that are "real definite maybes", one IT related, one not.

We'll see.
