My job won't be ending at the end of the month. It will be ending...um...sometime else.
My neighbor in the MegaCube is the product architect for the software I work on. He's also the defacto head of our half of Development since we are still without a vice president on our side of the building*. He has been procrastinating a bit with submitting my termination paperwork. Well I guess you could say he's been procrastinating a lot with handing that paperwork in seeing as he's had it for the better part of two months. Seems he had a plan in case I didn't find another job in time.
At an offsite managers' meeting yesterday he requested and received an extension for my position. I'll have a job until they actually hire a new programmer. As there is no serious contender in the pipeline at the moment I've got at least a couple of weeks of continued employment.
Today's party will be much more festive now.
That's great news Jim, I'm glad to hear it. May you continue indefinitely until you 1)retire or 2)move on to bigger and better places....
Here's to continued paychecks and more health insurance! Yay, Jim!
That is so cool. Good to know that not every boss is a dick. (Of course, being a boss and all, I'm not one, but I have worked for many...)
Anyway. Good bosses keep good people, no matter what. Now, get out there and own that company.
Heh. That photo and threatening letter worked after all.
