Now they can relax and enjoy life because they hated their jobs and Obumma care will still cover there healthcare! Wow what a sweet deal, we can pay more for our coverage so they can enjoy theirâs.
Where I worked, they would call the person to the bosses office. While the boss was delivering the âgoodâ news, tech support was changing the EX employees password.
When Corning laid off 400 people they had a meeting at a rented conference center. During the meeting, everyoneâs lockers were cleared out and belongings put in individual trash bags that could be identified and picked up. Everyone who went to the meeting were never allowed in the factory building again.
Only one time in my life did I get a bumâs rush like this. Company prez and his son came up from HQ in their blinging Audi, sitting there with all their bling on. Silly us, we just thought it was the usual 3rd Thursday meeting where the boss brought someone up to our satellite office from HQ for the staff meeting, trying to make us all feel like we were one big happy (I know; thatâs another cartoon); 1st Thursday, our manager would take one of us grunts to HQ for the staff meeting. So it wasnât anything suspiciousâŠâŠuntil the boss sat there as ashen as a black man can look (it was a minority-owned company) and told us, âThat went wrong on this contract, this went wrong on that contract, something else went wrong on the other contract, and [our manager] found a $50,000 error in my spreadsheets, which means Iâve been paying you out of my own pocket for three weeks and I only have enough money to pay you throughâŠtomorrow. So finish up the projects youâre working on so maybe Iâll have something to bill to the government, and have a nice life,â at which point boss and son split for the Audi and ran back to HQ, leaving us staring after him and at each other as if to say, âWTF was that!?!?âNeedless to say, we stopped work immediately. We stacked arms and headed out to lunch as an office. The next day, we stacked furniture and said goodbye to one another.

That blonde is still too perky, and relying on her very short skirt. She seems to enjoy âdismissal dutyâ, why should she worry? Sheâs âHRâ !
