We got reorganized last month. Scrapped almost all the projects we were working on and fired 1/4 of the workforce (mostly sales and support staff). On the plus side, I'm still employed and I've been able to use the last month to catch up on personal shit while the higher ups figure out what they want to spend money on next. On the down side, the new project I'm assigned to sucks and is never going to be successful. At least I don't think it will.
But, as long as the paychecks keep rolling in...
They won't for much longer. Assigning you to a crappy project may just be a way to get you to quit. If you don't, you may be in the next round of layoffs.
You may not want to work somewhere that has no direction anyway.
