I was working on this project for 6 years and the deadline was coming up. I knew we should have asked for 7 years of funding but my boss said 6 would be enough.
What happened? Did you finish the project?
Not in time. The deadline came and I still needed about 3-6 more months. My boss said we should ask for an extension, but I knew those were rarely given.
Wow, that sucks. Sounds like it's your bosses fault. Did he take the blame?
He took part of it when he wrote a great letter backing the extension. But I was worried and felt like I should probably start looking for another job just in case.
Well good luck with your future projects or your future job.
Thanks! We ended up getting the extension so it all worked out.
