> _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.
