Rumor Mill

So the rumor going around that next year all of the contractors will be gone. I mentioned that I'm still a contractor, and the person said I'd be converted. The guy also said that when they convert you, you take a pay cut.

So, I'll either end up chiselled on pay, or out a job. Happy f***ing holidays. Thank the gods I have some reserves.

Another contractor is out on bereavement leave. Now it's a good question whether she'll have a job when she comes back. Not only that, I doubt her manager has the balls to call her and tell her if it looks like her job is ending.

Not a shock

Said contractor knew she might not have a job when she got back -- not a shock. Death puts a certain perspective on things. Jobs come and go. Sucky jobs just aren't really worth worrying about.

Manager won't call, that's for certain. It's not a call anyone would want to make.

It's not a certainty, anyway. They'd be id10ts of they dumped you before 1/14. My sources are the skinny guy and lock&load
