It is now official. I am a permanent employee of the company I have been working at for the last 7 months. In todays economic times I feel very lucky to be employed.
With all the rumors and information you hear on the news you can't help but wonder if your job is going to be next. They had a large department meeting last week where they had a huge announcement. As I sat here listening to the Director building up to the announcement wondering if there weren't people in the room about to lose their jobs, they announced their would not be any pay increases.
You could hear the collective "Sigh" from the group. There were a few upset people but, in my opinion, they should be thankful they have a job. This company pays well and has fantastic benefits, for now isnt that enough to be thankful for? I guess having come from being a contractor knowing they could end my contract at any time to having a full time permanent position is a relief but if I had been there for a few years I guess not getting a raise would be upsetting.
After all is said and done its official! I am permanent! I have a job and one I can stay with for some time.
Cheers to the new year and what is to come!
All the best to you this New Year from my family to you!
Until next time......
