Bullet: dodged in OD

Remember a few entries back where I said I was moving to Mission if I didn’t get the quality job?

Well, the interview went well, but ultimately I didn’t get the job. So I’m guaranteed a move to Mission.

Thankfully.

Today, we were all called into a meeting about 3pm. There, we were told that the contract with Bank of Ireland runs out in November and they will not be extending it.

Which isn’t much of a surprise to me. To be honest, I’ve felt that they’ve been wanting out of the contract since before it was signed and a lot of the shit they’ve been putting us through has been to try and get us to breach it so they could cancel it.

There are 45 jobs on Mission and they will be taken by us lot. Which means that about 15 will possibly be out of work.

Thankfully, I won’t be one. The ten of us who already volunteered to move are safe.

After we were told this news (I swear, my ops manager, who appears scary but is actually very lovely, was visibly upset) I thanked my TL for more or less demanding I move to Mission before finding out about the quality job.

But I’m still looking for something else. I’m getting sick of these short term contract extensions and this is the second time in a year I’ve been at risk of redundancy.
