Of course I wasn't inited, but I overhear, whether they are debating keeping me around. But the best part is they are moving soon and want to keep me here at least for that... :angry:


Time to look for a new job I think.

Hah, I wish. But I have cut down on my RM time a ton since I started here.

I wasn't joking. For some reason I thought you worked at home doing some Internet thing. I must have been thinking of someone else. Anyway - good luck!

Why were they thinking about getting rid of you? How can they (the MAN obviously) be so stupid as to talk about you where you can here them.

There is only one thing that can be done, stick it to the MAN!!

I did for a bit late last year, but it was just a contract thing.

Open airspace along a window that opens in my cube, it is almost like an echo chamber...

My teapots are strictly legit... and no, not a programmer - project coorinator - very similar to HS Janitor except I don't get to ride lawnmowers.

I am going to see what sort of entry level management Home Depot has to offer, steady employment, health insurance and a retirement package are not looking so bad now.

Oh and Tenchiro - use this opportunity to get out of the biz - it's slowly killing you anyway. :monkey:

So, they are debating keeping you around, right?

Are you sure they plan to show you the door?
Maybe they are getting rid of you via promotion.

:D

I dunno, they hired me knowing full well that I know diddly about the telecom industry, basically as a warm body to fill in after the mass exodus that just occured. Now they just hired someone to work with me doing the same thing I do, but shifted almost all of the duties I had over to her.

Who knows what the hell they have planned, but with my limited knowledge of what we do, I doubt it is a promotion.

My Boss told me yesterday that they recently had a meeting about me. Basically if I was worth all the trouble I guess:( I admit I am a pain in the ass. But I am the only one actually working (getting #'s), that actually knows what is going on, or does what they say, blah blah blah. So to make a long story short I get to stay but now I also get to be "cross trained" whatever that means. I think they are going to train me to work in another division and then make the rest of the folks I work with have to work as f'd up as that sounds. We are so mis-managed it is hilarious. My boss admitted to his boss that he had no idea what I did. I then showed the big boss what I did and he was floored. I am very confused and discouraged about my work situation. This limbo BS sucks for me too brother......jdcamb

You could probably program a virus that would rip that place of big time.....big time....right?

Have your friend Samir take care of the rest.

I don't know about you, but I couldn't do anything that would upset Jennifer Anniston, even if it was like taking money from the tray, not the jar.
