First Post - Fired.

Rate: 4 Flag

Well, I certainly didn't expect my first post at OS would be to announce yet another casualty in the bad economy. Four years, three as a manager with this company, no communication, no chance to make changes or otherwise save my buttocks, just handed a letter telling me my position is being eliminated due to the economic downturn, a ubiquitous Office Depot  paper box to put my shit in and the ceremonious stripping of Company phone, keys and AMEX.

Balls.

oh god, i'm so sorry. what a terrible thing to have to post about. there are so many here who can completely relate to this hideous experience. and what complete assholes. i hope you have some in person support. but please rant about this to us and get support for this outrage that is all too common now. love lvoe lvoe and gratitude for your courage in finally postign!!
I'm so sorry. Please keep writing here.
I feel your pain kiddo....I got the boot last Thursday. Sounds about as eventful as yours was.
I has just gotten back from a business trip for them...with in the hour I returned....I was a statistic.
Keep your chin up!
Thx all for the OS love!

It was positively Wagnerian, kicked out in the rain, peal of thunder as the door closed behind me. The worst part was the platitudes n the letter, with his knowing my wife was diagnosed with Huntington's less than a year ago while I am not so bitter as to micturate on good wishes, his prayers won't exactly pay the bills. But I guess the disease is a bit of a blessing in itself since her SSDI got approved just last month. My 7 year old is a trooper, been working to cheer me up all night, whatta boy.

I've got some leads, revised the resume just last week, already have a few feelers out and the othert upside is more OS TIME!

More T&D, more squirrel, more Theodora, more Verbal Remedy, Jocelyn Testes-Harder, More Jess, MORE FREAKY TROLL. I may be poor but I have you all to keep me sane (or make me feel sane, wev.).

Again, much love.
i feel your pain. just made my first post about the exact same thing and think i'm going to borrow your tag: i'm fucked.
Wow, we have so many posts about this. But this one is you. It is really different.
