Now they can relax and enjoy life because they hated their jobs and Obumma care will still cover there healthcare! Wow what a sweet deal, we can pay more for our coverage so they can enjoy their’s.
Where I worked, they would call the person to the bosses office. While the boss was delivering the “good” news, tech support was changing the EX employees password.
When Corning laid off 400 people they had a meeting at a rented conference center. During the meeting, everyone’s lockers were cleared out and belongings put in individual trash bags that could be identified and picked up. Everyone who went to the meeting were never allowed in the factory building again.
Only one time in my life did I get a bum’s rush like this. Company prez and his son came up from HQ in their blinging Audi, sitting there with all their bling on. Silly us, we just thought it was the usual 3rd Thursday meeting where the boss brought someone up to our satellite office from HQ for the staff meeting, trying to make us all feel like we were one big happy (I know; that’s another cartoon); 1st Thursday, our manager would take one of us grunts to HQ for the staff meeting. So it wasn’t anything suspicious……until the boss sat there as ashen as a black man can look (it was a minority-owned company) and told us, “That went wrong on this contract, this went wrong on that contract, something else went wrong on the other contract, and [our manager] found a $50,000 error in my spreadsheets, which means I’ve been paying you out of my own pocket for three weeks and I only have enough money to pay you through…tomorrow. So finish up the projects you’re working on so maybe I’ll have something to bill to the government, and have a nice life,” at which point boss and son split for the Audi and ran back to HQ, leaving us staring after him and at each other as if to say, “WTF was that!?!?”Needless to say, we stopped work immediately. We stacked arms and headed out to lunch as an office. The next day, we stacked furniture and said goodbye to one another.

No more job lock – they are free to become poets or politicians or other pariahs of society

That blonde is still too perky, and relying on her very short skirt. She seems to enjoy ‘dismissal duty’, why should she worry? She’s ‘HR’ !
