I've survived

Today was the day that people were notified whether or not they were going to have to look for a new job. I was fortunate enough to not be one of those people. Unfortunately, I personally know of 9 people being eliminated, but I'm sure there are many more that I haven't heard about. I've worked alongside some of these people for years, and it sucks to have to see them go.

For those who remain, the situation is only slightly better. The new project that we are starting is already over budget and behind schedule. Combined with impossible goals, the future looks bleak. If goals, budget, or schedule are not met, there is always a possibility of cancellation.

The last 7 weeks have been tense, but relaxing at the same time. The situation was tense because the future of our employment was at stake. It was relaxing because many people had little or no workload, including myself. There were many days where I was in the office for half a day, and I spent that time conversing with co-workers. I've been getting use to this, but it'll change very quickly once the new project ramps up.

Good to hear that you made the cut. Did you notice any particular attributes in the people who were eliminated?

Everyone I work with holds their own weight. Our projects are regularly understaffed and there is no fat anywhere.

Anyways, I guess there are 2 main factors that determine if you stayed:
1) Geography. Two sites eliminated all but a handful of employees.
2) You need the team and technical leads to stand up for you. The more clout they have and the more they like you, the more chance you had of staying.

This makes the alteration much easier for the unitary and therefore provides a extremely high success status compared to buy valium no prescription. It can also be against to treat other serious addictions such as opiate addiction and benzodiazepine scurrility.
