In 6 weeks my current contract job will end and I have nothing to go to. I am really comfortable at my current position and everyone seems to like and appreciate me. I could stay here for years.
I've been here almost a year and a half. From day one I was promised a permanent position... first it was going to be after 6 months, then a year, and so on. They never intended to make the job I am actually in a permanent position, which is kind of bizarre in itself. I am busy every day and there will be nobody to take over when my contract ends.
The manager who hired me retired in June. At that time he sat down with me and told me about 5 different jobs that would be opening up that I am eligible for. So, one way or another I would have a permanent job soon. Well 2 of the jobs were not really something I would be interested in. So that takes it down to 3. A week or so ago my current manager emailed me a link to a job posting and told me I should apply for it. His boss wanted me to apply for it too. So I did. The next day HR called me and set up an interview with me.
She decided after 2-3 minutes that I didn't have the right skills for the job. She said she would talk to the hiring manager, and then I got a reject email the next day. I do think I could do the job. But I was weeded out. My current manager tried to find out why. It seems like somebody thinks the job is too big for me, so what can I do.
So that leaves 2 jobs which have been vacant since the people left in May and June. So today I emailed the manager for those and I found out that he just posted the jobs. But he moved them to another city across the country. I told him 4 months ago that I was interested and I've been waiting for him to post the jobs all this time.
So now there are 0 jobs for me and my contract is up in 6 weeks. I am sick and tired of being led along like a mule with a carrot in front of its face. I am sick and tired of feeling like this company can't do a simple thing like follow through on a promise. I'm angry. And I need a permanent job. I feel like I've wasted so much time hoping this company would hire me and ended up with nothing.
It hurts.
