We haven't been lying- more like omitting. If you've asked us in the past 3 months how Bryce's job has been and we've said "Great!" we weren't lying - just not also telling you that his position was being eliminated as of tomorrow.
Yep. In Sept we found out the entire company was being re-organized and his position was no longer necessary. Good news was 2 positions with more responsibility and more pay were opening up, but all internal candidates whose position was eliminated and external candidates all had a shot at a few positions.
It's been a LONG three months in limbo, but Bryce was just offered one of the jobs!!!! He had interviews these past 3 weeks for both positions, and he was offered the one he really wanted today. It's a nice promotion and pay increase.
Many people were not hired back, and my heart goes out to them and their families because I am intimately familiar with that feeling of "What the hell do we do now?" I hope and pray they find employment soon. One of Bryce's close co-workers in the same position (desks next to each other) was not hired back and I feel for her so much right now. It's so scary out there!
Again, we continued to be blessed again and again. We are so grateful.
I am so proud of Bryce for how hard he's worked. We weren't too panicked because his boss kept saying that Bryce is the best new hire they've had in 5 years, that he can't believe how quickly and eagerly he learns, and how impressed he is with Bryce's natural tendency to go above and beyond what's asked. And honestly, after last summer I just didn't have it in me to freak out again.
So hopefully you'll forgive us for not being forthcoming with this reorganization info. We just didn't want to be bombarded with questions we didn't know the answer to! Plus, trying to keep my anxiety at bay would have been hard if I had everyone and their mom to discuss/panic with about the situation. Also I didn't want to give Anne a heart attack worrying about health insurance! I don't think her heart could take it again.
So yay!!! Another one in the win column for the Kucko's.

I am glad I didn't ask. All I asked was if Bryce was still liking his job. A promotion and pay increase is always good. Say down to debt (at least a little student debt).-Mary
