At my previous job, I was employed for a while on a series of annual contracts that were renewed each May. The money that funded those contracts came from a series of research grants, as most of my job was oriented around helping process, organize, and distribute enormous piles of data.
This meant that for a period each year, it wasn’t entirely clear whether or not I would continue to be employed at the end of each contract. I had stellar performance reviews and I knew that if the project continued, my own job would continue. Still, that didn’t change the fact that I was never sure about things until the funding actually came in.
At that time, I had a lot of faith – easily too much faith – that my contract would be renewed, so I didn’t prepare for the sizable chance that the contracts would not be renewed. Looking back, it was actually a pretty big risk.
