So I been contractor 14 years and our contract was supposed to end September 6th but they gave us an extension for 4 months just the other day . Idk what’s gonna happen after that . Should I just roll with it in hoping we get a rebid? or start applying to different jobs . I did have an interview and I am waiting to see if they even pick me up. I love the company I work for but I’m just not sure what’s gonna happen .

I think if you love the job and your lifestyle works with that "go with the flow" work schedule, then, why not? I would imagine a rebid is possible if they've already extended your contract, too. What are you going to do if the new place offers you the gig?

That’s what I’m debating on . I do really wanna stay . The interview happened before the extension. So I’m in limbo lol because I really do wanna go .

They are buying 4 months of time to gauge what to do with your role. Can they survive if eliminated? Take this time and up-skill yourself, then start with applying to other jobs. That will be your safe bet. If they extend your contract, its a win-win solution for both of you.

No you should put yourself out there for other prospects, then decline should the contract be extended.

I have a CD that gets extremely flustered when you ask them for their opinion on a solution. For example after showing them multiple color pallets and CD not quite liking any of them (real Goldie locks moment) i suggested why not we do (fill in three colors here), the CD freezes up and gets annoyed because they don’t want to say yes or no without seeing it in front of them. Working on tight turn arounds and a cd who is too busy for meetings it proving tough with remote working. Any tips?

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks. Been playing it cool because I know these things can take time, BUT, I just got let go from my current firm. I have til 12/15 to find a new job.

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

35M. Friend zoned after one date. What am I doing wrong? I met her at a baby shower. We talked/text regular for about a month or so because I was traveling for work. Finally went on a date about two weeks ago, a week after I told her I like her and said she never thought about us being romantic. Today I got the official friend zoned text.
