Yesterday was a bleak Monday for our project. Due to organization restructuring it looks like we lost our project manager, two out of our four business analyst, the test manager and a tester. Next on the chopping block are the system analysts, developers and more testers. Working in IT you must realize that the financial rewards can be huge but so are the risks.
Unfortunately this is easily forgotten when you get into a comfort zone. You like to tell yourself that you are good at what you do and finding a job should not be problem because you consider yourself marketable. The reality is sometimes a nasty surprise and even if you make the transition from one job to another painless knowing that you are dispensable is never nice. To all my colleagues I like to say good luck.
