Change for the worse

Disappointing setback today. The two Business Analyst positions that we were told had been approved for our team are mysteriously gone - put on hold, done away with, or something of that ilk. My manager advised me to look for other internal positions ASAP; she's not sure she'll get the positions back.

I just heard about this. It hasn't sunk in yet. I was confident this would work out - for a week or so I've been able to pretend it all wasn't happening, I was going to be rescued. Now it seems my lifeboat had a few holes.

A personal thirty-day extension past June 30th? It depends upon how the India people assess how the transition status. My experience with them: the status is always rosy and everything is doable whenever you want it. (Salesmen exist in all cultures.) The reality: don't count on the end product being all that great, or even serviceable, if you gave them unrealistic deadlines. The laws of the physical universe remain intact, especially at Wal-Mart prices. In any case, admit June 30th is not doable? Highly unlikely. And any problems down the line won't help me now.

My current status: not good.
