The Day has Arrived.................

The 31st of January was almost here and there had been NO Job Offers nor a phone call from WATCO.  In the Interview, they had indicated they would contact EVERYONE whether they were hiring them or not.  Philip had found out that lots of Employees had already received phone calls and job offers. In fact, everyone in Philip's Dept had been offered a job except 4 people.......he was 1 of those 4! WATCO was taking over February 1st, so if they were going to hire HIM, wouldn't you think they would have called him by now?

We've all heard the saying that "No News is Good News". Well, in this case, we weren't so sure, so Philip decided to just call them. Wouldn't you know, he had to talk to a machine and leave a message! Let's just add a little more frustration to the Situation....UGH!  

The next day, he received a Return phone call from a Lady in the Human Resources Department and this is what she said, "We have NO more Openings in that Department". He replied by telling her he would be willing to work in Another Department, although he had worked in the same dept for 35 years! Her reply to this was, "I'm sorry, but there are NO MORE positions available, but thank you for applying".

Although the much Anticipated wait was over, this is NOT what we wanted to hear....Now What?!?!
