Well, fack.Follow

Today, my job has ended at a random note. My boss laid me off. For no real reason. He literally just woke up and laid me off.

I finished all of my paper work, like normal routine, and he stops me along the way to the door.

"I'm thinking of heading towards a different direction with the business...today is your last day."

Mind you, there was no privacy on this matter; I was fired/laid off right infront of another worker.

I returned him a puzzled WTF look and replied, "Where did THAT come from?"

He replies, with all his ingenious knowledge, "It was a decision I made."

Well, that sure as hell cleared up the murky waters.

Shortly after I left the office, I get a call from the worker who witnessed it on my cell phone, "Dude....what the HELL just happened? Is he CRAZY?"

At the moment, the only other person that knows how to do my job (which is the -whole- company's finances) is his daughter...who JUST went back to school and wouldn't be able to make it in at all (and has delibretly told me she has no desire to.)

I swear he's a class A ******.

Looks like I'm going to have plenty of time on my hands for a bit.

Wow, that sucks.

Time to hit Alla up for a raise.

And - AND - now you can ask his hot daughter out, and make her feel guilty if she says no. Win!

Dang Exo. That's just...just...wrong the way your boss did it. This had nothing to do with the warehouse incident last month?

If I knew, I'd tell you. This is spontaneous. If that's his reasoning, he's retarded. If I would've caused that incident, I wouldn't be typing right now.



Not just that, but who do you think he will call if his computer/network goes bottom's up? Your's truly. Heck, his main computer was built by scratch by me.


All I know is that if he does beg me back cause well...who the heck is doing payroll, I'm going to ask for more hours and a substancial raise. Providing he's lucky enough that I didn't find a better place of employment.

Wow that incredibly sucks. The right thing to do would be to at least give you some notice or even a proper explanation. Sorry to hear that mate.

Maybe your boss was secretly replaced by a brain dead zombie clone?
Hell if they want you back, tell them you want a pay raise AND a garunteed contract. That does suck though. Didn't even give you 2 weeks. Did you get any severance pay?

Isn't there a law about having to hand the person their paycheck when they kick you out the door? Or is that just in TV land?

Don't go back if he asks you Exo. Your future employers will admire you for it.

This scenario is a prime example of why I always keep a bag of my own ***** in the bottom right desk drawer. In the event of my sudden termination I can thereby hurl the excrement against the ceiling and holler: Ha! Good luck cleaning that up!

Looking on the bright-side, with the holidays fast approaching we are entering the home invasion season, and you've got that hungry, entrepreneaurial look to you.



Entrepreneaurial?

We could always use another waiter at the restaurant.

Wait, you're latino, right? I guess we could use another busboy.




Bummer, dude.

Exo

I just got appointed to a job with a big salary, fat pension and a nice car.

Does that help?

Wha'evah.

Sux2BU

WTF Exo that sucks. :(

If he's going to pull **** like that don't go back. Just look for a new job all day until you get something better.

Fess up.




It's not your own *****, is it?




And Exo, go file for unemployment ASAP. It takes a while for the paperwork to go through and they'll require that you check in periodically and give them three jobs you've applied to, but it frees up the time and necessary resources to allow you to job-hunt effectively. Nothin' quite like trying to decide between the 8-hour temp assignment you need to pay your bills and the 2-hour job interview you could possibly score a regular paycheck with.
I know there is some stigma attached, but that money was put there for precisely this kind of a situation and you'll actually be using it in the manner it was intended. Good luck. If your health benefits extend until the end of the month, make sure you get your check-ups in.
