It’s been made clear to me that there will be no budget to convert contractors in the foreseeable future. Years.
I jumped at this job to get their name on my resume, actually ended up loving it, but am now disappointed to know I might never earn what I could elsewhere.
Do you really want to be converted to a blue badge in a company that lays off as often as we do? Not only is your job constantly in jeopardy, but you also have to deal with the toxic atmosphere with all your teammates competing with you merely for self preservation. Run away.
Go somewhere else. You bet wrong, key word is YOU. Move on. It's not like csco hasn't done this before to people.
