manic monday

well it looks like the first soldier fell onto their sword today. just about lunch time the rumour mill was a buzz with the first casualty of the merger. the company is pretty large so although i have been working there for almost a year i still have yet to meet everyone. what i do know is that she was an employee with 12 years of service.

suffice it to say it put quite a mood on the place for the rest of the day.

the new head office had said that every employees, contract staff included, would know his/her fate by the 2nd week of april. it looks like they have started early.

what i find interesting is people are working with a guillotine poised above their head. yet they sent out a department wide email requesting overtime hours. it also asked people to volunteer to work through the long weekend to keep the flyer program on schedule.

Sounds to me like this company has got a HELL OF A LOT OF NERVE! Somebody needs to open up a can of F**K OFF on them!

Pardon my French.

So, what do you think will be the future of your contract status??

i have had an end date for my current contract status for a while now. it ends just about the time that they will move to the mississauga location.

so i will continue to go to work and do the best job i can, until my status is confirmed one way or the other.
