Mandatory meeting for everyone, one on one's later. Mine is in like 15. First guy already gone.
Thank fuck, I hate this fucking place and now I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Still remember getting laid off when I worked at a call center
They made the mistake of not walking me out
Still have boxes of pens and paperclips
Nice.
At the last one where they asked me to leave it was the day the office ordered a fuckload of lunches so I took like 15 near the managers' offices and a box of pens, books, and coffee and beer from the kitchen.
Honestly wish I've been more brutal.
They realised I was doing the work that was supposed to take up 7-9 hours of may day, everyday, in 2 hours and then fucking about and going home early and were like: "we feel like it would really be great if you could like spend more time here, we like to think of ourselves like a family" like MF you don't know wot my family be like.
Laptops are easy to track and for the company to lock. Probably not worth a lot of risk unless you’re sure you’ll get away with. Peripherals like monitors, mouse, keyboard are a safer choice
Condolences and congrats. I was in a similar position two weeks ago but they kept me :negative:
Had a job several years back that laid off like half the company, was truly liberating.
Hearing what layoffs entail: "wait you're freeing me from this hell AND you're paying me for it?"
Change can feel really good
I hope you can find work when you want it ☺️
Thank you, comrade! My wife and I actually have our own business (no employees, no capital, contracting shit basically so :lib-status: ) and we're doing very well between that and her other remote work. I'm about to be a stay at home dad, and while that will make some old debt take longer to pay off, i'l be able to see my baby and i'm fucking ecstatic!
Wow that’s great, you’re so lucky
One of the worst feelings is looking for work when you need it and not finding it
Oh I am incredibly lucky. Being relieved to be fired isn't a luxury most people can afford.
So what was the best sabotage you planned in those last 15 mins?
Enjoy the most fun two weeks of your whole job to that point, take the time to make sure you never have to buy office supplies ever again
Sadly it'll probably be a stressful 2 weeks, lol. I'm guessing they want him to transition all responsibilities to the next person, and failing to do that they'll take some portion of the severence package away.
is that really good though if your replacement doing their job wrong gets shit on for it? sure they can just blame you because it IS your fault but I wouldn't wanna put someone in that position personally
Expecting someone to train their own replacement is borderline inhuman. Sucks for the trainee, but capitalists have no right to do that to someone.
No, they're entirely eliminating positions. So i'm just gonna dick around.
I believe they can only realitically condition that if they have a severence above the legally mandated one. If not, I'd ask they pay double my salary for those two weeks, what are they gonna do fire you again?
I've got some sick days i'm about to cash in, and i already have like 4 vacation days approved for the next few weeks so i'm only even working like half
cute little severance package, they need me to work for 2 more weeks, and i've got 4 vacation days approved already during those two weeks.
so pretty solid.
