Nice!

As of this afternoon I am unemployed. Got the whole 'finish your charts speedily so that we don't have to hang around too long waiting to make sure you don't smash your computer or steal the 99 cent wreath hanger you hang your coat on or otherwise sabotage this pathetic windowless closet we gave you to work in, now that we've announced we're ditching you after sucking you dry for a year' 30 second talk by the glaring VP of HR who's always in a bad mood after spending the morning in court with his ex; but he couldn't stop me from hugging the staff on my way out, and he couldn't stop them from being shocked or weeping. Then the humiliating escort out to my car as if - what? I'm turning 56. What am I going to do?

I guess I posted here because I hope something will get better but it's too soon to tell

Fucking fuckety fuck. Sorry doc.

DanaC · 10-09-2015, 05:59 PM

Is this their attempt to make sure they don't get taken through a wringer for the privacy breaches?

orthodoc · 10-09-2015, 08:26 PM

I suspect that and retaliation for asking about some questionable things that occurred while I was on medical leave. Also retaliation for taking medical leave.

That sux doc.

Room for a lawsuit?

Fuckers

Wait why are we sad for this, isn't this a good thing? I thought you hated working there, your co workers treated you like shit. Now you get to have a fresh start somewhere else.

limey · 10-10-2015, 09:15 AM

And sue the fockers, no?

Yes, I plan to sue these people in as many ways as are available to me.

But no, traceur, this is not a good thing. These are not good people, and they took pains to make yesterday painful and humiliating. As for the bigger picture, being fired throws several wrenches in the works.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-10-2015, 10:31 PM

With the way they've been fucking with you, it shouldn't be a complete surprise. But you probably didn't notice the whispering because you were too goddamn busy trying to do a good job, eh. And maybe one or two personal things to think about too.

You can lay out the whole thing on the table as fair and impartially as you can, hoping your prospective future employer will accept that in lieu of a recommendation. But I fear they would freak out, lawyers, federal violations, drama, we want no parts of this. Alternatively, you could present some of the facts, making you look pretty good and them a little unreasonable(rather than the complete dicks they are), wrapped in a little chocolate to make it easier to swallow. You know, just enough to get by the recommendation thing, but not reveal the possible nuclear explosion to come.

Hmm, you could also... no, not you, no way, you're too nice... nevermind.

classicman · 10-11-2015, 09:55 AM

Damn sorry Doc... Keep your head up, paste a smile on that pretty face & breathe. Somehow this will work out. It always does.
