It is quiet on the blog front because I have mainly been working and Job hunting.
When I have not been doing that, I have been watching the rain/snow fall and waiting for the weather to improve.
We did find a very nice Mongolian restaurant last night where you select the food you want from a buffet, they then weight it to work out what you pay (if you guess the correct price you get a discount!) then they cook it for you.
They also have very nice desserts!

Change of plan
We had another one of THOSE meeting at work today and after confirming that the high level business model has not changed they preceded to tell 'some work has been moved in to next year' and some other business has emerged. As a result there is a reduction in the number of people being made redundant.
the up shot is that they are keeping 4 of the 5 data analysts - yeah and the 5th Data analysts has taken violently so it is looking very good! Also I have a interview for another position in the company so things are looking up.
watch this space but I think the worse is over

Job update
today they told us that they ere extending consultation period
this is there reason:
"It is acknowledged that the consultation process is taking longer than the original 30 days, this is due to the constructive nature of the discussions that have taken place so far. In view of this it is proposed to extend the consultation process by a further two weeks to Friday 6th November."
constructive nature of the discussions ... surely is they are constructive it will be faster and not slower!
I am sure it has nothing to do with the lack job offers and people being on holiday! anyway the consultation is extended by 2 weeks which means more waiting,wondering and pay!

job update
They told us the new structure of our new group - and which group would face redundancies
Most of it was fairly obvious - minus 1 manager, minus 1 scheduler, minus 1 Work group leader , 2 from enabling, and 3 from data analysis.
Yes 3
None from Process, 3 from Data analysis
There is only 5 in our group - so my chances are now less than 40% that I will keep my job.
I say less because we have a person that has 'specialist 'skill sets which means that although his job is on the line he has a slightly better chance of keeping it.
They are sending out some other jobs for different parts of the company tomorrow so I will be applying for them.

Wrong
So all is well, work is busy and we even taken on some temporary staff it looks like tings are settling down after last years shenanigans.
WRONG...
Today we were told, despite meeting all targets and working really hard this year, they need to get rid of more people. grr
I now have about 20 % - 25 % chance of losing my job, but what I feel is worse than that is 30 days of not knowing and no guarantee that they won't do it again next year!
