I was on vacation. They laid off my boss 2 weeks ago. They laid off my bosses boss 3 weeks ago. Guess who no one could contact?
I found out about all of this 2 days after the fact. Best vacation ever.
I'd start the job hunt now...
Way ahead of you. GSK/Haleon looks to be unraveling in their toothpaste division. I'm only a long term contact worker so I've always got another job lined up. I've got another 9 months on this tour but i don't see them keeping me, i cost too much.
Wtf did they honestly expect from you in that situation anyway? Do they really think you would come back from vacation to deal with that? From what I can tell, fixing it is barely beyond a T1 hekpdesk amount of knowledge, just an annoying process. Unless there's more to it, I haven't looked heard at the details but that's the gist I'm hearing.
But unless they're going to triple my vacation length (in terms of paid days off in other words) and maxing out all my upgrade options for the next one I'ma have to say they can get bent.
Basically they gotta pay for the best version possible of that trip (assuming there was a trip) and give me enough time to take 2 more.
I ain't taking a work call on vacation.
Funny story. My boss vetoed work phones as a cost savings and at first there was a squawking fest but honestly he handled all communication to us and protected us from so much bullshit. Now he's gone and no one could figure out how to get in contact with us aside from email/teams.
