11/30 for contractors?

I heard that all contractors currently have 11/30 as the last day for their contract and leadership hasn’t communicated with any of the contracting companies about extensions.

Anyone know if this is management being slow to communicate, or if we’re going to cut all the contractors loose in a month?

Whatever the pros and cons of using contractors instead of hiring FTEs, the reality is there are teams that have a lot of contractors on them (especially in IT) who are going to have trouble absorbing the workload if those people disappear in a month.

I guess that assumes any of us will be here, sure. But setting that aside, is this a de facto layoff or is there some other plan?

This has happened several times in the past in IT, Fri they get an email to not show up to work the next week. FTEs find out on Monday and are scrambling to pick up whatever work the consultant was doing. Yes, some have been here for years but that's mainly because it has been much more difficult to get an FTE req than a contractor.

Only hourly contractors are dropped at the end of the month. Some of them have been here for years.
