Daklu Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Last Tuesday I learned my contract was going to end on Friday, so I lined up a LV dev position with another group that I was supposed to start today. On the way in to work this morning I checked my voice mail to discover the person who was planning on leaving (thus opening the position for me) decided to stay (thus closing the position to me.) Not exactly the kind of news that kicks off a great week. Here's hoping the economy picks up soon... Quote
crossrulz Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 That sucks dude. We are worried about a big project of ours suddenly shutting down, which could put my job in jeopardy too. Still waiting for the end of the recession to hit main street... Quote
Roderic Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 I'm sure with all your skills you'll fond something soon! Quote

ShaunR Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Sorry to hear that dude. I'm in a slightly different position that I'm about to throw in the towel. But JKI seem to be sucking up any and all LV programmers. Maybe there's a chair there with your name on it already Quote
Antoine Chalons Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Men... we struggle here each time we try to hire a new LabVIEW developer... The situation here (Switzerland) is weird, the economy is pretty active and rather stable, but there is a huge lack of engineers. We are 6 developers here, only one is Swiss (2 french, 1 german, 1 italian), this shows how Switzerland is hiring its engineers from the countries around I think. At NIDays in Zurich last week there was a stage discussion and NI's branch manager was pointing out this issue for Switzerland. Quote
dannyt Posted March 8, 2011 Report Posted March 8, 2011 Hey sorry to hear that and a very poor way to find out about the loss of the new role as well. Hope you find something soon. Quote
Daklu Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Posted March 8, 2011 Thanks for the encouragement. On the positive side, I should have more time to work on LapDog. Quote
