Heard about my job....

As of January 1, 2009 I will be cut back to 20 hours a week and as of February 1, 2009 I will no longer have a job. My boss is pissed. Another dept. has one too many employees. The deal was that dept. was to condense down in order for my boss to keep me on and save his ass. Well, the guy in charge of that dept. only feels important based on how many people he manages so he went back on what he promised and even asked for more people in his dept. My boss is freaking out bc our dept is expanding further to 2 more states. We are going to hire more Regional Managers and agents. My boss is gone on average 3 weeks out of the month now. There will be no one here to get his work done.

I asked if this was set in stone or if this was still wobbly. I also asked him if the home office comprehended how much my division relies on me, especially since I am the only one in it besides my boss. If I leave, it collapses. Those were my bosses exact words to the CFO. He said it is 50/50 and yes they do know how much I am needed and relied upon which he said he believes because they are going back over the budget with a fine tooth comb to try and keep me. I am just hoping they wise up and realize the other dept does need to condense and tells them too instead of pushing me out.

I am going to be looking more vigorously for a job now. I have been applying but I know the likely hood of me hearing anything before the end of the year is slim.

It is taking everything I have to hold it together right now and finish this day at work.
