My manager took my interview, so he could have always told me about the short contract.

Correct. There is a reason why it was not disclosed , most likely, you are not to be bothered about the stint of the current project.

While I do not disagree that you should have been given a fair heads up, however, this sounds very unlikely that a new hire was hired only for a 3-month requirement. It may be possible that either

• they have possibility for further extension of the current project
• they have other work / projects lined up, (based on your skill and expertise) after the current one is delivered.

As of now, I do not see anything to get worried. However, you can have a word with your manager regarding the road-map for the current project which should give you the idea about the status.

• they have possibility for further extension of the current project, maybe in reduced scope. You are the new hire, to learn the work (while your senior colleague mentoring and guiding you) and once you're up to the speed, you'll be the one handling the work and the other member will return to the original project.
