merry. fucking. christmas.

So. Fired.

I think this makes time number three (although, if you believe City 16, time number four).

And, hey, I think it tops the Science Center. I was told in person.

Oh well. At least Timey's employed now.

What?

I think I'm a few months behind. I thought that this job was being fazed (phased? I'm too Trekkified to know how to spell that anymore) out and that you knew that you were going to be laid off? Or is this a totally different job?

At any rate, you don't sound happy about it, so EVIL HISS BOO BAD to those evil people, and hugs for you, and I'm sorry. No matter what their reasons, it is TOTALLY ass-ish for them to do it NOW.

Outsourced. *cackles*

And, yeah, the previous job was, and then a different department hired me back through the agency... *pets*

Here's hoping you get a better-paying job soon.

And that the lot of your bosses get hemeroids.

I'm sure this is just so you can be offered a better paying, better hours, lets-you-write-porn-instead-of-working job on Christmas Day.

Right!! Those things must be set up in advance, karmically.

Good thinking, ness!

Yes, they are evil and deserve to be on the Ocean Liner of Doom. What kind of person does this sort of nasty thing two days before Christmas? They'll get their cosmic comeuppance one day.

So sorry for you.

I don't know, but I'm beginning to suspect that Christmas is karmically a down-time for me...

[identity profile] katcorvi.livejournal.com 2004-12-24 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm sorry to hear that Christmas isn't your up or even neutral, but that still doesn't excuse the all around awful behaviour of these asshats.

OLOD!!

Trust me, in their next lives they will pay. (That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.)

Here, more Nutter Butters and Guinness.

May their beer always be flat.

And may they find a half-eaten worm in their mince pie!

Raises glass! As for you: Wassail! May the New Year bells ring out all the crap from 2004, and ring in a year of squeeness and friends, and good fic, and moneh, and laughter!

Aw, lyssie...I'm truly sorry.

I had an incident similar to that, but it wasn't quite as close as yours. They really could've waited until the end of the year for junk like that, and they didn't have to mess up your holiday.

Good luck, though, and may the next job come quickly!

That sucks. But at least it's not your first. I remember my first firing. I was sure life was over.

Know better, now. I just hope the next job is the best of all for you.

That blows seven ways to Saigon.

You want I should collect my axes and go asshat hunting? I'd need to get some warmer underwear first but I could do it.

*hugs* Hang in there. Something better is out there for you.

Between this, and what I read in your later post, I think you should definitely write a formal letter to Manpower. A very calm letter, when you're ready.

The sheer fact that they fired someone so close to Christmas should be a black mark against them.
