That's right, I was "laid off", a victim of "staff reduction". And while I half knew this was coming, it still sucks! The part(s) that really piss me off:
Those who don't care about me, but offer useless platitudes and general bullshit.
Those who were ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE who claim total innocence in the whole process (dude, you had a part in it...just own it!).
Those who don't say a word to me. Not just don't say a word, but actively ignore me the whole day. I think that kind of chickenshit attitude show exactly your level of human decency...which is to say, you have none.
There are those I work with who genuinely care about me they know that anything they say will only make it worse and are content to just take me to lunch and complain that they are stuck with my counterpart forever now.
In the main, I was not surprised, and in fact, plotting to defect from the group because it has grown increasingly unstable. The good news (there is always some) is that I have money in the bank and will have several months of severance. I had a job interview today that went well, is still with the company, and looks like an exciting opportunity. All in all, when I think about this turn of events I am not upset, just a little worried. I think this may be the kick in the ass needed to get me moving on to bigger and better things. But in the meantime...THIS!SUCKS! (Although not as much as two broken arms)
P.S. To Frank, shut the fuck up you stupid, ignorant bastard! I am so glad that I will never have to deal with your hateful, petty, bullying, racist ass ever, ever again!
P.P.S. To Tom, I hope you found my site and grow a pair!
