I think you showed amazing restraint. At the end of a conversation like that, I would have picked the regional manager up by the lapels and explained that I hold him personally and physically responsible for this shitty situation. He may still bluster about legal responsibility before I tell him that it won't matter to him as I lead him to the roof.
Oh wow, epeen ++ OP is going to get whatever months of pay, isn't he? Hopefully he didn't go out and make any stupid purchases when he got the job and will save instead of being his originally unemployed ass for those months.
The manager told him that they didn't know what would be accepted for their restructuring so they covered their ass and hired him in case the plan was rejected. If they knew it was going to be eliminated then they wouldn't have wasted resources hiring and training his ass.
One of my friends worked at mervyns as a store manager. He got another job at Steve & Berrys right after they announced bankruptcy. Yea, Steve & Berrys hired him even though they were about to go down as well.

I guess you missed the part about,
"Me: So why was there a job ad for this position which I answered in late February. You were interviewing and hiring for a job you knew would be eliminated in a few months. On top of that I was pitched on how stable this job would be and how steady it is"
Him: Well that is unfortunate it might be a thing where one hand doesn't know what the other was doing. H.R. was supposed to tell you guys that there was recontracting and that it could effect jobs."
My point is that 'business' does not exist in a vacuum. It is made up oft times of incompetent, unscrupulous managers who need to be held responsible or the crappy business practices will continue that led to the current financial crisis.
If you think I was merely blustering, you don't know my corporate history.
Your first line:
Either he contradicts himself, or you're typing down the words he used incorrectly. Idiot managers aside since that is a given most everywhere, it wasn't a sure thing that their plan would be accepted, so they hired your ass as a contingency.
I guess I missed the part where you said you turned down other job offers and just read the part about the "long draining soul-crushing job search" and figured you were goign to be unemployed during this time anyway and be grateful for the couple of paychecks and go to the doctors now while you're covered.

It's Business vs Humans, and they will win.
Because they are sociopathic and do not care about Humans.
Corporations rule the world.

Kelvric, let me explain about the negotiations they went through, I should've put it in the OP: Let's say the state rejects their plan for my area. In that case another company wins the bid, and my entire region is laid off. So either way my job was done July 1st.
