[rob]

hahaha, can you believe it?? What else can go wrong in my life?

 

[tvashtarkatena]

Wait a minute, you just got CANNED?

[rob]

pending -- I get 6 weeks to attempt to re-interview somewhere else

[tvashtarkatena]

OK, I know you haven't been that bad a guy in this life, so you must have REALLY FUCKED UP in a previous one.

 

Have you had yourself checked for testicular cancer lately? It seems like it might be a good time for that.

Dude, don't even joke....THEY'LL HEAR YOU!

[tvashtarkatena]

Holy fuck, what if we've been wrong about the existence of God all along!?

[DPS]

Jeez Rob, I am sorry to hear that.

[akhalteke]

Holy fuck, what if we've been wrong about the existence of God all along!?

 

I just got promoted.

[akhalteke]

Sorry to hear about that Rob. Wish I could help. If you want to check out NC, I have an empty bed in the other room, but you will have to go to a checkpoint everytime you come back from looking glass.

[mkporwit]

Fuck... on top of everything else that's recently gone Tango Uniform in your life... I'm really sorry. Is that job opportunity in Kathmandu still on the table?

[tvashtarkatena]

Holy fuck, what if we've been wrong about the existence of God all along!?

 

I just got promoted.

 

Oh wait, you exist. Well, there goes the God idea, right out the window.

[tvashtarkatena]

I suppose a reject, retard God in charge of a junk yard universe is a possibility....

[tvashtarkatena]

BTW, Rob, the next time we go climbing together I'm going to homosexuality rape you, you know, just to keep the trend going.

[pup_on_the_mountain]

Sorry to hear that Rob... good luck with finding a new job.

[Tokogirl]

hahaha, can you believe it?? What else can go wrong in my life?

 

Bummer to hear!

I hope you find one soon. Any leads from co-workers?

[sobo]

Sorry to see this, rob. Came from outta nowhere, did it?

Here's to getting back on yer feet real soon.

[wayne]

What do you do Rob?

[rob]

I'm a software guy

[rob]

Yay -- first I get to train the outsourcing guys who are taking over, so I get to stick around another month or two.

 

Isn't that awesome?

so, you're being executed and paid to dig your own grave first, metaphorically speaking?

too bad you don't have something else lined up. you could tell them to lick sack and leave w/ no notice.

Damn that's rough. They outsourced your job to some contractors ....because...?, I can't believe they'd save that much money as fucked up as it's gonna get after you mis-train the new monkeys. We worked with a company which eventually just gave up trying to make a product at all in this country and subbed it out to China. When they were Mfg. they hired near non-english speakers, immigrants from other countries, into purchasing jobs as the could pay them @ 10.00 an hour. It cost them much much more than they ever could have imagined or save on the salary and kept the plant in continual turmoil and conflict. What a Fed up situation they created by trying to shave a buck.

 

Good luck.

[rob]

Yeah, too bad. Even if I do find another position in the company, and interview for it, and they give me an offer (pretty big IFs), the VP or my org won't even let me leave until I've finished training our replacements, which could be months from now -- which really makes it hard to look for a job, since I can't really start for a while. It's like being some place between life and death.

 

a) wait until the transition is over (months from now), then get 6 weeks to try and find a position within the company in a hurry, or get laid off and lose my stock awards

 

b) look for a job within the company while I'm on the transition team, and hope they don't mind that I can't actually start for several months.

 

c) leave the company NOW, and lose all my stock awards

 

what a mess

gotta love how companies always use you when you are important to them and toss you in the garbage as soon as you now longer matter to them.
