Now that most of the shock has worn off....
I got FIRED on Thursday!! There was no issues, no warning, no clue.
The project manager just said that he needed to speak to me, and that was it. They wanted me Off The Project, and I wasn't even allowed to go back to my office to pick up my purse. He had to go get it for me. My co-workers have to pack up the rest of my stuff. I've been there almost exactly 4 years. Everybody seems to like me. A couple of departments think I can walk on water because I always take the time to take care of them properly (helping them with computer stuff). One of my co-workers called me at home to find out details, and he says that this is 'messed up'. Even the project manager was ****ed. There's something funny going on, and he needs ask some questions. Meanwhile, I have full pay until the end of July, and benefits until the end of August. That's it. 2 months to find a new job. I spent most of Friday evening on the phone, yelling that 'that Rat ******* FIRED me!!' I had to get that out of my system, you see, because calling him 'that rat *******' in an interview wouldn't go over well. *grin* Officially, this is going to be called a layoff, so getting a new job shouldn't be a problem. I would enjoy this 'vacation' so much more if I knew when the ending would be. *sigh* The Princess Rita doesn't seem to care that I'm home. I think this is going to hit really hard on Monday, when I have nowhere to go. Jane - owned and operated by the Princess Rita |

I'm so sorry Jane. This does seem rather messed up and uncalled for. Purrs that you get a new job soonest and that it is better than this one was. Pam S. |

I think it's "illegal" HERE, too - or was until the moron in the White House managed to stuff our courts with neo-cons whose political allegiance counts for more than their knowledge of Constitutional Law. |

Here too, up until a couple of years ago, and the new government is trying to fix that. Its outrageous they didn't even allow you to get your purse! Purrs that you find a better job with a more stable, logical, rationaly management! Meanwhile, enjoy your time with Rita. Yowie |

Andy The boss claimed that I didn't know my job well enough. Anyone who actually *works* with me says that he's a liar and it's a bogus charge. I'm contract, he's government, so there's no chance of fighting it. They are talking about outsourcing the data center, and this may be just the first in a long line of unfair firings just so the government doesn't have to pay severance.

Your tax dollars at work, folks. Jane I feel your pain. I work in higher ed but I am contract and the outsource bug is always biting on someone or other above me. At my age and my limeted degree status I would be in sad shape if they dumped me. I hope things work out for you; you symbolize many of us here, I think. Andy |
