F/U to scary meeting

Sorry to leave you hanging last night. I left work and had the trick or treaters, and then proceeded to get very drunk.

In short, it could be a lot worse. They've decided they can't afford to keep me on full-time at what they pay me (peanuts) so they're making my job part-time, about 30 hrs/week and moving me to a different area. Of course, with the commensurate pay decrease as well.

Bright side is that I think I'll like what they're going to have me doing a lot more than what I do now... and I was already planning on starting a serious job search this weekend anyway. It sucks, but I can deal.

Re: F/U to scary meeting

  • I'm sorry you're having to kick up your job search.  Hopefully you'll find something kick ass soon.
  • At least they didn't give you the axe. ?Good luck on the job search!
  • Ugh, I'm very sorry. ?I'm glad they're not completely getting rid of you, but that is really sucky. ?I hope it will be a blessing to do more things you're interested in.

  • Crap - I'm glad that you can look on the bright side but it sucks that they are forcing your hand on the job search.  Good *new job thoughts* coming your way!

  • Well, I suppose it could be a lot worse.  At least the better practice area will sweeten the deal.  And 10 more hours a week to nest!  Or job search. Smile

     

  • Always good to see the glass half full. A better practice area, impetus for a meaningful career search, gained 520 hours per year of "me-time." It could be worse. All the same, I'm sure it's not the best news anyone wants to hear, but I wish you lots of luck. 
  • Well, I'm glad it wasn't completely terrible, and that you're able to see the bright side! Good luck with the job hunt!

  • I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't better news. And I hope you find something fulltime soon!
