Update to Holding Pattern

As I mentioned in "Holding Pattern", the company I do work for is emerging from bankruptcy. The union voted on the buyer's new deal and passed a 10% wage reduction. Staff will also be getting their wages cut by the same 10%.

But we are still waiting for things to be truly official. My group of Computer Analysts were all set to go at midnight April 2. We were going to implement the interim company's name on all appropriate out-going documentation. With only 23 seconds to spare, we were all put on hold. Apparently the bankruptcy judge needed to be consulted again and the buyer's wanted one more go around on some of the numbers they had been provided. Crap! It's like a bad dream that keeps coming back each time you fall asleep.

Everyone at the company just wants it all to be over so that there is at least some certainty what tomorrow will bring. I suppose Monday will be the new dawning. Perhaps this is some kind of poetic justice that the new company will commence just as the clocks spring forward to day light savings time. Hopefully, the new company will also spring forward to new profitability and stability.
