The two South Africans came in today. Fred, who sits next to me gave me the run down. It turns out Charles was not on the hit list. So he is safe for now.
Instead, it was a guy who sits next to Charles. A big guy from Sydney. No one thought much of him anyhow.
Richard was so angry he was spitting nails. I am very surprised that they even let him in the building. Fred is angry too. He wishes they had given him, or the group, a warning, or at least a month's notice.
Well. Welcome to the wonderful world of contracting. You are disposable. That is why we make more than a normal employee.
Richard said he wants to have a drink with me Friday afternoon. I don't know if I really want to go get drunk with a sad and angry man. What is the point? Charles would go. I'm not Charles.
I suppose that I should buy the man a round a drinks. After all, he has a family to support.
And I heard a rumor there were going to be more cuts next month. That is only a week away. I guess I won't be making any long term plans for a while.
