So it turns out that my prospects are possibly not as bleak as I first anticapted they would be on receipt of the news that my current employment would be coming to an end at the start of December. When I received the news, there appeared to be little chance of securing alternative employ before that time. Now, I have at least three good possibilities on my horizon. Of those three, two are posts I was interested in before. One I tried for, but narrowly missed out on and now it's up for grabs again. Another of the posts, I wasn't allowed to apply for (an internal vacancy), but now they have opened it up to a broader group of individuals and I am free to apply.
I do have a preference of the three and I would quite willingly give up my present position for it anyway, so the whole debacle may well end up proving beneficial to me, despite the way I've been treated. Things have been going well at work anyhow. Many of my colleagues have sided with me, so management have really cast themsleves in an unfavourable light because of the way they have handled it all. They've shown themselves as untrustworthy, ruthless and corrupt. Maybe those are the traits required for higher management. In this case however, none of it was necessary.
So basically, at the start of December I should be starting a new job, or I will be unemployed. Either way, I'll be happy to leave where I'm at right now. When you feel like your superiors are plotting and scheming against you, it makes things uncomfortable to say the least. Then, when you discover that your concerns are well founded, then it makes your position untenable. That's where I find myself right now. I'm looking forward to a fresh start, but I've learned a valuable lesson, be careful who you trust!
