My work BFF got let go today

Waah. She's a good worker, too. It's a shitty time to look for another O&G job right now.

Has anything more happened with the crazy lady?

Lol, no. She just doesn't show up. Isn't her today and showed up at noon yesterday. Didn't come in at all last week.

I'm sorry. Is your job safe? This is a newish job, right?

Yeah, I started in October.

For now, I think I'm ok. My boss held a meeting last week and it had me listed as an approved and budgeted new hire (I'm contract currently). But, we shall see.

If anything, No Show Lady is basically guaranteeing my spot. I do all her work plus mine while she's out. I'm also heading new projects with two groups, so hopefully that helps me as well.

I hope your job is safe and I am sorry for your friend. It is rough out there right now.

Her group was restructured and they can't justify her new role with less tasks with her pay grade, and they think they can go from three analysts to two and still perform. The newest analyst just came into her group about a month ago, and has a much lower rate than friend.

She did the same job that I do but for a different formation.

Oh that is sad

Ugh, I'm sorry. Fingers crossed that your job remains stable.
