Wheatchex Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Well the day started off ok but then it got progressively worse. First off after barely being awake and getting dressed, I put my shirt on inside out and went to work. THe funny thing is I didn't realize it till lunch and no one told me either. After lunch the boss gives me my quarterly review which is fo the most part ok but a couple of things needed improvement, nothing big. Next after signing the review and returning it the boss calls me in and tells me he set up a job interview for me. I mean usually you try not to let your boss know you are looking for a job. WTF? So I am off this afternoon on an interview. Been with this company for 11 1/2 years. Maybe time to for me to leave permanently. Will know more after a few weeks if I need to fix up my resume. Sorry for venting but if anyone knows of anything in the NE Ohio area let me know. Wheatchex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotton eyed Joe Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I put my shirt on inside out the other day too. I had my hoodie on, so no one knew. Great minds and all that. We have tons of aerospace here (don't know much about NE Ohio, sorry). My mechanical engineering nephew is trying to get on at the local solid rocket booster factory And I guess my little sister got hired on as a level 1 purchasing agent, but now (after a week) they think they need to make her a level 2. My brother in law, that works with me, said if they make her a level 3 hes going home to watch TV all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenBB Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Your boss set up an interview for you? That's exceedingly strange, if one of my bosses did that (I have three; they are partners/brothers...and you thought it sucked having one boss), I guarantee it would be a job shovelling cow shit and not sniffin' roses.

Wheatchex Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Well here is the rest of the story. As it turns out, there will be layoffs here in the the next few weeks. So in order to protect others jobs, I was selected to interview with a different department. If I got the job, it would mean one less person they would have to lay off in my group. So in effect I save two jobs, my own and someone elses. On Friday morn I found out I got the job and accepted it ASAP. So I still am employed, just in another department. So the gray cloud did have a silver lining as were. Wheatchex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I can't think of anyone I know thats been kept on during a round of layoffs Did you get your shirt on straight this time? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
