Do I still have a job?

I guess that I will know friday. I went and had coffee with the dean today. He's a nice bloke, and interesting, but I wonder how much of what I discussed with him made an impact. He implied that he didn't know any of us well enough ( well you wouldn't want to get to know people if you were going to get rid of them, would you?) and that the letters would come from HR. The question is, was he involved in teh decisions? He acknowledges that Information Systems should be a core to any Business School course, But also that he doesn't need a department full of Information systems people.

I wait and see. I won't go down easily.

30 April- the process drags on. It looks like any hope of me getting an extra year to see my programme out rests on me taking the Voluntary Severance and then getting a part time back-door contract to do that.

If I make them get rid of me they can't have me back.

Well, I went easily. I was pushed to take the VSS (Voluntary Severance Scheme) because then they would offer mea fractional contract to come back next year and finish the BISM course final year. So I did. I'll get a payout and a pension, and the University will not have the problem of me suing for unfair termination or whatever.
