Apparently, only SN and CH are moving from the group I am in to SR's group. So I'm not going to go to work for Mr Unethical. Yaay!
Now, whether they take me regular, or just keep me as a contractor until my usefullness is ended, is still up in the air. Who knows, maybe they'll give me the open senior sysadmin spot. In some ways, that's what I would like.
But if they decide to end my contract, that's OK too. I have on my personal "to do" list the tasks of making sure that there are backup people on all of the projects and tasks that are on my plate. Even if I was going to be here for years, I do not believe in allowing single points of failure to exist. The other contractor who developed our nagios implementation was very poor at knowledge transfer. Fortunately, I already had most of the knowledge, but I doubt that detail factored in to his "indispensible man" attempt at furthering his contract.
