Make me an offer

[jeriendhal]

I'm outta here, no earlier than Friday, probably sometime next week. I talked to my boss, and he told me after speaking with our VP that they were willing to give me a three month severance package, allowing me to hunt for a new job without worrying about my old one. If I manage to get a new job quickly, then that also means we'll have a month or two of extra income for the year, which is no small potatoes. If not, well, I wouldn't be any worse of than before. The boss made it fairly clear he wants me gone, but he was willing to be nice about it (hence the severance package, which as an hourly employee I'm technically not qualified for), and he's going to give me a positive letter of recommendation.

Buh-bye job. It's not how I really wanted to leave, but at least I'm getting the fragg out of here.

Hey, that's some good news. How are the prospects in your area?

Fairly good. I'm in the DC/Baltimore corridor, so it's not like there aren't scads of government contractors around. I'm going to hook up with a job placement agency that specializes in government jobs, so that'll be my first step (after contacting a temp agency to sign up with them in the meantime).
