Stressful week coming up. The federal government contract I've been working on since 2019 expires on Tuesday. Final bid proposals were due Friday the 15th and we still don't know who has been awarded the follow-up. What we do know is that the next contract is apparently so much smaller in scope that all but 15 of our 50ish person workforce are not being retained after Tuesday. We had one-on-ones with management almost a month ago to find out who was being kept. I was one of the lucky ones... most of my friends were not.
If we don't get it, I suppose I'll have to bank on E.O. 14055 to hopefully get me picked up by the next company. Either way there's almost definitely going to be a gap in service... I just hope I'm not unemployed for too long.
