Corporate Meeting
I have a meeting today (along with everyone else that works here) with the company bigwigs to find out if our contract was renewed. at 1.30. If yall could think positive thoughts that I'll still be employed, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
It doesn't appear very good. Half of the people here are looking for jobs right now. One even brought in Sunday's edition of the Post with the 'mega jobs' section. Apparently this is the first time the company has had a meeting about the contract renewal. So, yeah, think lots of positive - employed - thoughts.
I did talk to my supervisor last week and he indicated that the contract had already been verbally agreed on but it wasn't in writing yet. Apparently my company (we'll call it B) lost our contract with Main Company (MC) to another company (C). MC wants to move everything from paper based to electronic based. C already holds the contract to do all the electronic stuff for MC. However, C doesn't have a clue how to do what B does. So the two most likely scenarios are
1) C subcontracts the work to B,
2) C individually hires people from B to do the work.
Then there's option 3) C doesn't have anything to do with B, teaches it's own staff what to do (while leaving MC twisting in the breeze during the 'learning process') and everyone at B is now unemployed. Let me clarify, everyone at B who works on this contract would be unemployed.
