About 3 weeks ago, the company I work for let us know that they were in talks with another company to buy us out. Most of us expected the process to take a few months. Much to our surprise, we were informed late last week that it was final, and our last day with the old company would be Friday the 6th, and our new employment with the new company would begin Monday the 9th.
Wow. Didn't see that one coming...
Anyway, the "offer" letters came and it's pretty much the same deal. No change in position (still installing phones systems) and no change in pay either, except that I'm hourly now and can get overtime pay, which is good since I usually put in about 5-10 hours over a week, minimum. It's an offer I can't refuse, simply because I don't have any other prospects right this second and do need a regular paycheck. Here's where it gets fun...
I just got an email from my boss, asking for a copy of my current résumé. That's interesting, since we were already supposed to send that in at some point over the next week or two. But she emailed me directly asking for mine specifically, today. I could be reading more into it than it is, but knowing the people I work for it's pretty unusual unless there's a specific reason for it.
So keep your fingers crossed.
Verrrrrryyyyy Interrresssttinngg! ;) I hope the request for your resume will be good news! But overtime pay is good too!
ReplyDeleteI'm cautiously optimistic...the Godfather playing air guitar is probably a good sign too...
ReplyDeleteFingers and toes are crossed for you bro!
ReplyDeleteI'll even cross my eyes if you think it will help.

I've got you in my cross hairs. NO NO
ReplyDeletethat's not right. Just tell them that you come from a long line of telephone types. That shoud
clinch it.
I wish they would let you know what is going on. My eyes hurt from being crossed and it's hard to drive, cook, eat, and even walk this way.
