The Playground - Week 2 - Day 2
Nov. 2nd, 2021 12:04 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I got a phone call from my boss yesterday, but didn't see it right away.
It was followed by a phone call - and then two more texts - from my team lead for me to call them ASAP.
I knew it wasn't going to be good if they were interrupting my day off.
When I finally got back to them, this is what I found out:
That my company had lost the contract in Pinellas county (NOT my county/circuit) to run the foster care system and so had ALSO decided to surrender their contract for MY county/circuit as well.
It was either a negotiation tactic gone wrong or a corporate version of a temper tantrum with people's jobs on the line. Either way, it wasn't good.
As it stands now... unless there is a change, my job ends in June. Which is more certainty than a lot of people have right now if you squint when you look at it. :)
But hopefully either (1) something will be worked out and they will end up staying OR (2) the new company hired to run the system will onboard the existing staff, which has been known to happen...
So that's how MY day went yesterday! How was YOURS? ;)
