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. |

That really and truly stinks. But don't take the not being allowed to go back into the office personally. Its pretty much standard procedure a lot of places. That way the other employees aren't upset more than necessary and they don't have to make a case by case judgment as to who might cause trouble or remove things that they shouldn't. Here's to finding something better soon. Purrs Jo |

Another casualty of our "downsizing" economy, perhaps? However the
White House tries to "tweak" the statistics, huge quarterly losses, industry closing more and more plants and branch offices, and thousands of workers (in nearly all fields) being laid off does NOT indicate an economic "boom". (And cutting welfare payments and veteran's benefits to help fund an unjustified - and unsuccessful - war only makes the situation worse!) Jane wrote: I got FIRED on Thursday!!

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. |

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 empathize! I was unceremoniously fired from my job of 11 years. My supervisor was clearly unhappy at being dragged in to do the deed. All of my co-workers said it was "messed up". In fact, only one of said co-workers is still employed there. The manager who fired me either fired the others or pushed them into moving to other departments and in some cases, other employers. It did cheer me greatly to learn she eventually got the boot herself I wasn't allowed to go get my purse or pack up my personal belongings, either. It's rather humiliating, isn't it? As if they're implying you might steal something. Strangely enough, when they did pack up my stuff they threw in a stapler and a box of green pens (I always wrote in green) which technically weren't mine. Gee, thanks. Best of luck finding something very soon. Do everything you can to guard against depression. And take it from me, it doesn't do a lick of good to go over things in your mind trying to figure out what *you* did wrong. Chances are, you didn't do a thing. Jill |
