Good morning RP GAF. I get the distinct pleasure of laying off 12 people today. This is a part of my job that I despise. I have to go around with HR while these people clear out their desks to monitor whether or not they pose a risk to the network while they're getting their personal affects together

I was fired on a Friday. My birthday was on the coming Monday. After I left, I texted my team to let them know that they should probably cancel the potluck they were having for me.

Damn dood. That sucks. I remember when I got laid off. 6 weeks into my first job out of college, I get called into an office by a guy who I have never met before. Said that they were letting me go. What really sucked was that all the other job offers I had prior to graduation were all filled up so I was SOL. I was lucky enough to find another job a few months later and it turns out that getting laid off really was a blessing in disguise but at the time, it sure as hell didn't feel like it.

Sucks mate :( Would hate to be in your position.
 
I think what I hate most is that they look at me like I'm the asshole. The decision wasn't even glanced over by my lowly position, I'm just doing my job... that I still have... and they dont........... ok, so I am the asshole.

You should have done the 'you're fired' dance.

Dance down to the first person.

"You're fired!"

Dance while shaking some maracas

"and you're fired, yeah!"

lol... that'd go over well. If I feel like an asshole and I'm not even the one doing the firing, that'd be like more of an insult on top of it. Thats like farting on someone's toothbrush, you just dont do things like that.

What about rapping it to them?

I'm here to tell you Jo,
That I'm going have to let you go,
So that you know,
I'm only doing my job yo,
I know it's a blow,
But we need to make some dough,

Did anyone see something here? I could have sworn I got a reply to my thread because I saw it quoted, but I cant see what was typed because I'm only able to see replies from people who have real pictures as their avatars.
=P

As terrible it is to get fired, I kind of have to feel for the people who have to do it (assuming they aren't dicks who are enjoying it. I'm glad you aren't one, but I'm not really surprised at that.) My father worked in management but because it was in government he rarely had to fire anyone. The one time I remember that happening it was a huge legal battle to get the guy out.


Anyway, damn you guys. I had I'll Make A Man Out Of You stuck in my head all last night when I was trying to get to sleep and it wouldn't let go.

MYSTERIOUS AS THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.

you know, they say that a picture tells a thousand words, coldvein, but in your case i'd imagine that they're all slurred together.
 
Good morning', RP Gaf. How's everyone's heads? :D

On a more mysterious note I found a phone in the fridge at work that was going off and off and off and no one will tell me WHY.
