So we had a spur of the moment all-staff meeting today, and the CEO flew in from out of country. Basically to announce that we are "re-structuring" and therefore 35-40 people will be losing their jobs.
I know I'm pretty safe, I have seniority and the IT department is so small we wouldn't be able to cut anyone. The weird part is, rather than making the cuts today they said it would take place over the next week, and everyone should know by next Friday. Needless to say there is a lot of talk and conversation as to who is going to get the axe.
As an added bonus, corporate sent us all these McAfee servers that have a security application to work in tandem with the firewall to block non work-related sites. You guessed it, no more Alla's for Kakar from work anymore. Looks like I'll have to actually earn my paycheck.
