Thought I'd provide one last update on the outcome of this situation, just cause I think it shows what a great company I work for...
Basically between now and Dec 31st, they're going to try and re-deploy as many of our team as possible to other accounts, but since this account is so large
that's not likely to happen. So what they're doing is they're going to offer us a retention bonus for anyone who will stay on through the end of the year to sort of help ensure that we provide excellent service to the acct all the way up through the last day of the contract. It's actually a very generous bonus...so worse case scenario is that in january I'll earn the bonus plus my severance package, so at least I will be able to search for a new position without having to worry about the immediacy of bills/rent.
Now I'm not naive enough to believe they're doing this just cause they like us...I know the retention bonus originates from business needs, but still...it's just nice to work for a company that is in position to provide a soft landing place as opposed to just beign tossed out on my arse, you know?
So anyway, that's pretty much how the story ends. I'm going to continue to work hard this Fall and into the winter, enjoy the NFL and college football season, and then come January I'll see where the next step in my career leads me.
Thanks for all the support guys....really appreciate it!
Focker Out!
