Further Job Info
I had a conversation with my manager today which somewhat clarified the pressure to find the next job. What I understood him to say is that after 30 days "on the bench" I become a prime candidate for the next lay-off, whenever that may be. I think this is what happened to me in Atlanta, although I'm not sure whether I had 30 consecutive days of bench time, or just 30 days cumulative within the last 12 months, for example. As happened then, I would be given 30 additional days from being selected for lay-off to find another job within IBM.
That's essentially what happened to me in July of 2001: on the 29th day my Atlanta manager heard about this CADE project with openings for C++ programmers, and the next miracle was that in one night I was approved for a moving expenses package. That type of approval typically takes weeks.
That was a faith-building experience for us.
