Abbott to cut 700 jobs in Temecula

[dumbled0ry]

For the IT industry, Abbott is the only ‘big company’ in Temecula.

I work as a business analyst in Information Technology, and in March I accepted a contractor position with Abbott ‘with the possibility of being converted to full-time employee’. Part of the reason that I moved from OC to Murrieta was the hope that I could afford a house(as a single person) after I landed a FTE position.

There are a lot of IT folks there ‘paying their dues’ in an effort to get a permanent position – working in a temporary trailer, sitting 2 to a cubicle (in the temporary trailer).

In June, Abbott announced a ‘change in direction’ and started letting go some contractors, including me. No worries, I found a better (FTE) job in Carmel Valley. And someday my housing dollars will go to San Diego (where I lived almost 9 years before my 6 months in OC).

Many of the Abbott IT folks already own/want to own in Temecula – you’re right about being nervous spenders…

This is my first post after lurking for a couple months. Thanks – I’ve learned so much from reading here.

Yes, the Temecula lifestyle comment was a joke…

I am in IT and unless I was completely 150% desperate I would not accept one of those contract to hire positions (or similar). Problem is, IT became flooded with workers and companies have been able to turn IT workers into a commodity unlike any other gray collar job.

I was offered a contract job with SDGE and I turned them down flat – it’s FTE or nothing (at this point in time anyway).

Well, the Temecula lifestyle was a joke – sort of…

I have a six figure income and don’t have a lot of money left over at the end of the month and I am a tightwad.
