Funny story, got the call from the contractor and asked specifically is it effective immediately. They said yes, I then had a phone convo with my lead. Turns out they were going back and forth for about a week or so before pulling the trigger. Having a company iPad I tried email/skype and still had creds. Sent the news to two senior managers I was supporting their group with, turns out they were going to leave them high and dry making them real pissed. Sunday head up there with my trusty coworker to get my personal things. They gave us hell, even telling me my badges were disabled. Monday I get a call at like 8am, come to find out they jumped the gun. My real end date was the 22nd. Got my badges back from security, still work perfect (assholes), so I go and email those two senior managers. One guy asks for my resume, meanwhile I get a phone call for another job. It's now Tuesday and it gets juicier. The mobility lead who happens to also be an asset manager was told he'd be laid off too, so he turned in his retirement papers. They bumped my lead up to cover that position too. I then start asking around, turns out I was the only one being let go and nobody was told anything about it. What a cluster man.
