My day at work was definitely interesting. Our morning was interrupted by a meeting, called by Dee, in which EVERYONE in all departments attended. It was strange. All of us were down in the tool room standing around in a circle, waiting for Dee to get there and I was like, "Is there a bomb in this room?" Haha.....CLOSE. So, the bomb was that UCI will be aquiring water pump manufacturer - ASC. To quote the memo, "ASC will become the company's Center of Excellence for water pump production". The faces on those in Water Pump Engineering turned somber. If any of you don't know, this is my department. Now, technically, I work for Water Pump AND Fuel Pump Engineering - Fuel Pump will remain the "Center of Excellence" at Fairfield. Although the process could take months, basically what this tells us is that WP Eng. will not stay at Fairfield. No one is actually SAYING that, but it makes no sense for the department to stay here. The higher ups tell us that they don't know anything for certain at this point. Bull. Guess I'm a little angry with the corporate doublespeak. And I have more of a chance of keeping my job than the Engineers and Drafters, because a lot of the work I do is for Fuel Pump. But, there are two of us doing my job, so who is to say they won't get rid of one of us. I know, I don't need to worry about any of this. I can handle whatever is thrown at me, because I have Someone Greater on my side. But, it is something for me to think about....ya know, what will I do if I lose my job? And, mostly, it upsets me because there are great people in that department that really DO need they're jobs. I just hope it doesn't pan out like we think. Prayers, please.
