Employment status change pending

[herveus]

 The contract I have been working under for the past seven and a half years was supposed to be recompeted for something like three or four years ago. Haha... MSC finally got a solicitation out and made an award a month ago or so. 

The current contract ends with the end of the year. The new one kicks in on 2 January. Lots of transition. Yeah.

CACI won the new contract, and they appear to be picking up pretty much all of us. They did not even call me in for an interview before making me an offer of employment. It was satisfactory, and I accepted it. Now for the paperwork. 

I will be technically Out Of Work on New Years Day.

The new job will have me commuting to Chantilly, at least for the time being. That will suck. I figure my commute will roughly double. And Metro is not a viable option at all. On the other hand, all of us on the team will be working at a location instead of teleworking most or all of the time. I look forward to the social aspects.

I profess myself to be oddly amused by this.

I dislike the commute, and the lack of working from home, but am pleased that employment continues.

What they said.

[luscious_purple]

Agreed.

On the teleworking front, I was the weird one who did not want to telework 100%, so SAIC kindly found me an office space and computer. I'll telework if I must, but I'd really rather be in the office with coworkers.

Blessings upon you. Having tasted the glory of WFH, my life would be a dark place if I had to go back to an office environment.

I'm sorry your commute will increase. Chantilly is a bit of a hike for you. But yay, job!
