Another Ordinary Day
Nov. 14th, 2006 03:47 pmThe worst thing about being a temp? (or, you know, on a temporary contract) Is that nobody ever tells you anything until absolutely everyone else knows. Seriously, most things I can deal with. Being left alone in the dark (heh, see what I did there?) is not one of them.
There have been Stirrings and Rumblings of Great Import in the office today. The HR Manager and the VP of Human Resources have been sequestered in a boardroom all day and calling people in, both in teams and individually, and eating them alive from the head down. No, wait, I must've made up that last bit. The short story is that whatever MASSIVE CHANGES (most likely a complete shutdown) that are happening in the company are happening right now. Just over there. About thirty feet away. And I still know nothing.
*twiddles thumbs*
The HR Manager wandered past earlier. She looked at me vaguely and said "Oh yes, I must speak with you at some point. Maybe later today. When I'm not so busy." Then she smiled blankly, staring somewhere over my head. "I haven't forgotten about you," she assured me.
Not feeling quite so reassured...
ETA: Well, still haven't had the official talk but it looks like I'm here until Christmas. And then? *Littlest Hobo theme tune starts playing*
