just to illustrate:

Quote:
Harry sent his parents a glare. "I am a conscientious objector to the child draft, on the grounds that I should not have to suffer for a continually disintegrating school system's abject failure to provide teachers or study materials of even minimally adequate quality."

Both of Harry's parents howled with laughter at that, like they thought it was all a big joke. "Oh," said Harry's father, eyes bright, "is that why you bit a math teacher in third year."

"She didn't know what a logarithm was!"

"Of course," seconded Harry's mother. "Biting her was a very mature response to that."

Harry's father nodded. "A well-considered policy for solving the general problem of teachers who don't understand logarithms."

"I was seven years old! How long are you going to keep on bringing that up?"

"I know," said his mother sympathetically, "you bite one math teacher and they never let you forget it, do they?"

Harry turned to McGonagall. "There! You see what I have to deal with?"

Quite an important one. It is entirely possible that I could be out of work on my return. My role at work was made redundant exactly a year ago. Since then I have been seconded to a different team - the length of that initial secondment was one year.

It has yet to be decided (or the decision has not yet been made public) whether or not;

a) the team I am seconded to continues its work
b) if it does, whether I am still needed / wanted on the team

Tomorrow I have a meeting with our Managing Director and on Thursday with our HR Director. These two meetings should decide my fate Options are;

a) Team continues and I continue on it
b) Team doesn't continue, or I'm not wanted on it any more but another role is found for me
c) I'm given my notice

Wish me luck!
Thanks to all those that wished me luck!

Just an update for anybody who is interested. The MD made a decision; to make a decision in 3 months

So I'm still in limbo; but, on the bright side, I'm employed for at least another 6 months (that 3 months + 3 months notice period).

At least you know you've got a couple of months! There is a big push here in the States due to economics to do a lot of short-term contracts it seems, though the job market does seem to be getting a bit better the last 6-12 months...

Over here they terminate the short-term contract, wait a few months and then rehire against lower wages. That's what happened to my daughter and her student-job.
There are still a lot of firms closing down and the houses don't sell easily.
