Well, actually not. The new boss is an order of magnitude larger and doesn't need to get rid of Quality Assurance in order to hire another programmer.
My position is no longer being eliminated. Yay!
Now this is no guarantee that my job will remain the same after the acquisition operation plan is cemented. I might be part of a QA group, I might be working from headquarters instead of this building, I might be working on my product and the other major one from my (former) company. We'll know what's happening there by September.
The important thing is I've got a job and will be continuing to have a job.
Thanks to all of you who have assisted in my job search. You've done everything from reviewing my resume to cheering me up to sending me job notices to whoring out my resume at your places of business. You've been absolutely awesome.
You're all invited over for a beer.
I'll hold you to that when I go to a client site in GA...
You got it, Pylorns.
Yay!
Oh and just in case this is a stealth points deal - The Who, Won't get Fooled Again.
Dammit Rob beat me too it!!!
Good for you Jimbo. I'm really happy for you. What a relief.
I'll have a shot in your honor.
I Hate Rob.
Am sick now from the Skittle fest.
And I'll have a Grolsch please. One of those with the cool metal flippy tops, ok?
I am soooooo relieved and happy for you sweetheart.
Mazel Tov!!! I'm really happy for you Jim; I know the stress of not having (or one's spouse not having) a job.
Glad you get to keep yours!
Congratulations Jim.
:-D
I'll come, but you'd better not be serving that American stuff you call beer. It's more like coloured water.
Now Australian beer, that's the real deal.
Can I also second Victor's comments.
Thanks, y'all. :-)
This wasn't a stealth points deal so everybody stop hating on Rob.
Simon, we've got real beer here too. You just don't get it from Anheuser-Busch.
Congratulations, Jim! (My manners have taken a nosedive, lately.)
Hey, Simon, you know why American beer is like making love in a canoe? They're both fucking close to water!
I love that joke.
Congrats! Of course, when one smells as good as you, it is best to be among as many people as possible.
