Behold! The end is nigh!

Have you ever been in a relationship that you knew was going to end soon? I have on several occasions known when I was about to lose a job. I could just feel it. So I always tried to find an escape route. Sometimes I was able to move on other times the axe fell before I could make arrangements.
I could tell you some of the stupid reasons I’ve lost jobs, but that is for another day.
In my present assignment, I felt it coming. I am in a unique position being a subcontractor employee, if I close out an assignment, I will be sent somewhere else. So over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed unusual treatment. I have been actively avoided. I mean to the extent of people refusing to make eye contact. Things are weird here anyway, but this was an overabundance of strange.
So I figured the end was near.
So what’s the problem? Well, they couldn’t leave well enough alone. Instead of just making a business decision: Guy A is more expensive than Guy B. We want to extend our limited funds. So, we will let Guy A go.
That is simple and a completely non personal decision. That wasn’t the way it went down. They had to make something up. Guy A is not a good match, he does x, y and z. But, similar to the kid that has used too many grandparents’ deaths to get out of tests; this excuse was used 12 months ago. My supervisor's boss knows it is a non issue, and my company management knows it is B.S. but, a letter still goes into my file.
Look it is not and never has been personal. They want you to pretend like this is some kind of family/home away from home, so you know be friendly and have fun. But don’t you dare be friendly and have fun. I never knew what they wanted from me on a personal level so I tried to just do my job. Sure I was friendly and sociable, but I never pretended that I was anything more than a temporary extra set of hands. But because they couldn’t make a break like grown-ups they had to make up some justification.
Sad.
But, at least I’m out of there.
So what is my new assignment? Working from home 75% of the time. Yeah, quite the punitive result.
