#1633 – my days are numbered

This was posted over 22 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

my days are numbered… guess it’s time to start looking for a new job.

it’s nothing wrong with me, it’s just company policy changing. 😛

see, my manager pulled me aside today to tell me that he just found out that the way they hire temps is changing, and they’ll only be keeping temps up to 6 months before getting a replacement temp. and since i’ve been here about a year and 6 months, they’re going to have to find a replacement for me. my manager says that he wished he could keep me, and that i had some really valuable expertise, so he said to keep an eye out for position openings.

i figured that something like this would happen sooner or later. i had read something on the company intranet about how temps could be kept for up to two years. guess they decided to change that. ^^;;

i’m not really surprised. well, i am surprised, but i figure there’s nothing really to be done about it. i don’t think many people at work know (probably just the managers, and the customer service rep that has to find a replacement for me from adecco).

adecco could probably find me another job… but i also remember seeing something in an email about a job on campus (my old job i had on campus selling computers, in fact). i think i may look into investigating that, since the manager i had for that really liked me and would have hired me back at the beginning of school last semester if he had a position for me, and also considering how adecco has treated me sometimes…
