With Christmas around the corner and our baby due on 01/01/2012,
I’m not entirely thrilled.
On Wednesday I walked into a small room and there sat my
manager’s manager, my HR business partner and a box of tissues. Nice! I wondered
if this is about a raise or promotion. They both read from scripts! I
appreciated the personal touch at such a sensitive time.
150 people later and now the company can make its $700
million dollar profit target. What a relief! Glad I could help guys.
It’s only been a couple of days and I have already had some
interested potential employers contact me, but it’s already tiring. The most
frustrating thing is, I was doing a good job, I had a great team, I was
enjoying myself and my work made positive impressions in the business. I was even
recently rewarded with an excellent performance review and a pay increase.
So 11 months ago I opted for a permanent job so I could
start a family, and look at me now. I could have gone for a well-paying contract
at the same time, like so many other former colleagues and would probably still
be there. Instead I chose security. I’m disappointed in myself, as I have been
on both sides of the fence and should have known better.
Anyway, wish me luck!
