Welp... *I*, on the other hand am in academia and the grant funding half my position (non-renewable) dries up in October. WHile they have said several times "don't worry about positions -we're keeping them" ... that's not in writing *and* I can very easily imagine the "this is hard for us; we are keeping your position but half-time" (as in, no benefits) talk. Now, they like me.. but that doesn't always translate into dollar signs.
However, even if I'm wondering year to year if I"ll still be full-time, I like this job enough to hang on to it. (Not part-time no benefits... and they *know* lots of students and faculty would give birth to bovines if I disappeared.)
