...somehow, I did not get a surplus letter.
I have verified that it is not a mail failure. Apparently four years as a State Monkey is long enough to save you from the warning of the caution of the threat of the possible axe. Who would have thought? Not me.
I know I should be totally thrilled that I'm NOT at risk of layoff! But I just feel kinda... weird. Maybe because I had convinced myself that I WAS going to get one? And a lot of people in my office have gotten them (including several I like) and I just feel strange to not be among them.
In particular, learning that one of my coworkers who got the letter has three years made me feel weird. I have sent an e-mail to a contact at my old department to find out how things have gone down there. The calculation was done by department, and it would be interesting to know if I would have been on the list had I stayed.
