A work/job situation update
We had our second consultation meeting on Thursday, and in this meeting we have been told that our consultation period is being extended. So we were due to find out this coming week whether we'd be getting made redundant or not, now we'll find out in another month or so.
The reasoning is that a "review" of customer services and support is being done by the VP of customer support from the US branch of our company, and as a part of this the company will be implementing new customer relationship management software which has been in use in the US for a while now. They obviously need to know before they do this, how it will affect the departments.
I don't know what to make of this. On the one hand it's really positive because I have a guaranteed job for another month, and it shows that they are at the very least considering all the options. On the other hand, I'm pissed off because once again my life is on hold until they make a decision at last - heck if they're extending it now, who's to say they won't extend it again and again.
I've been investigating the cost of holidays to a few different places (been looking at Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, New York, San Fransisco) and long haul flights are so damn cheap it's really tempting, but until I know what's going on with my work I don't think we can justify spending that money on a holiday - we need to save, save, save.
