A Bastille Day Miracle: My wife just lost her job AND got offered a new job within minutes.
Edited on Thu Jul-14-11 01:11 PM by onehandle
First she got offered a position within her company that she has been interviewing for... for two months.

Then just as she was going to call her boss and tell him, he called her to tell her that her current position would be ending by end of Summer.

anyway...

PHEW!

It's a great position that she is really excited about.

Happy Bastille Day!

(We're going out for cocktails later to celebrate all of the above.)

3. It's a lateral move, But it is squarely in her area of expertise.
Her current role was wasted on her skill set.

She's excited.

5. I would think your wife has 2 reasons to be proud
Just a hunch, but I bet they wanted to eliminate her current position but didn't do so because they valued her too much as an employee and when she applied for the new position helped them solve 2 problems simultaneously. I bet it wasn't just luck.
