This week is going to kindof suck
I'm a little bit stressed going into this week -- two other engineers and I are training our replacements, and I'm on tap for a lot of said training. I really want to do a good job, but of course, I'm so busy *doing* my job, that I have had a hard time finding time to prepare. And in general, I don't like being unprepared for things.
When I last left my own personal outsourcing saga, my team and I were interviewing people over in India to take over the support portion of my job. Well, we hard a hard time finding people who we felt were qualified enough for the job, for one. And for two, the new division boss wasn't too hot on the idea of going to India for this job, so that whole idea got scrubbed. The people that are taking over the support role are current EDS employees, who are looking for new gigs. So, no going to India for me.
-Andy.
Awesome! (right?)
This means that the jobs are staying in the US for the time being.
Does this mean you're offically getting pushed out the door at EDS, or are they stringing you along?
Oh shit, I just reread this and saw the part about you training your replacements. Sorry to hear that. I didn't mean that it was awesome that you were getting replaced so long as the jobs stay in the US. I'm not that big of a jerk.
