Yep! When you are fired or laid off you are gone at that moment! Most of the time you are not even let back into your office or work staion. Your next option is what bar you head to with the others that were fired at the same time.

That’s it. We delete their userids and change any group passwords they had acess to. Simple business sense.
All good and dandy til they Snipe you or your other employees leaving to go home for the night. Disgruntled new fires that may lose their homes may look at jail as a good option.
LOL- well I DO post my articles in their entirety, sir... no excerpts here
Exactly, and these guys get a month to raid the safe and what have you
Ping!!!
I've never seen nor heard this term - "disgruntled new fires" before.
Could you define it, please? Thanks.
basically the opposite of new hires. People that are newly unemployed.
Actually my last employer was notorious for leaving people in place that knew they were gone. They used severance as the carrot to keep the peace.
Did not stop the vandalism and malaise though. I was kept in place two months knowing I was gone so they could get me to move the downsized company to smaller digs.
1. Reid jams cap and trade through the Senate using 'reconciliation'. The Senate bill will have the same language as the House bill that passed last year in order to avoid a conference. Zero signs it into law before 12/31.
2. Every bill introduced in the House will have the so-called 'Dream Act' and the DADT repeal tacked on as amendments.Pelosi jams them through on party-line votes, then Reid quickly acts upon them. Zero signs the DA and DADT repeal into law before 12/31.
3. Card check legislation is pushed in both houses with a full-court press from the unions. Zero signs it into law before 12/31.
4. Since Reid and Pelosi were busy with the above, nothing is done to extend the tax cuts, and all scheduled tax increases automatically go into effect on 1/1/2011.
5. The 112th Congress votes to repeal all of the above (in addition to repealing Obamacare), and the repeal efforts die in the Senate.
6. The revolution begins ...
Good grief
Sadly, not that far-fetched either...
somebody on another post gave false information earlier in the month, stating that Burris of ILL is already out and that the ILL seat is vacant.
Burris is still in office and will participate in the lame duck until Kirk is sworn in. The idea of having the seat vacant was too good to be true (for cloture).
Both the terms used above are a very far cry from "newly fired"!!!
I would not recommend - in your case - that you go to a bar some evening after work (or worse, during the day) and use the term "newly fired". That is, unless you want to sharpen your bar fighting skills.
“The so-called progressives aren’t done with their date-rape of this country just yet... “
So this situation focuses my position that the TPM MUST make an amendment to the COTUS that makes LameDuck sessions finished when the session is over before the elections.
As the provisions to the current version, have the new congress start its tenor 15 Nov[3rd Mon in Nov(HSpeaker by 16Nov)[2 days later], ECollege on 18 Nov[2 days later], and POTUS comes in few days after all this [20Nov].
Move all the transitions from Jan to Nov.
Thanks justiceseeker93.
LOL! The last time I allowed myself to become fired, I was escorted out by security, with the promise of having the contents of my desk sent to me later.
LOL! The last time I allowed myself to become fired, I was escorted out by security, with the promise of having the contents of my desk sent to me later.If that promise was kept, you may have been one of the lucky ones. (On those occasions when I've been canned, I was always allowed at least to retrieve my personal possessions from my desk before leaving.)
I remember reading the memoir of Noah Dietrich, the longtime number one aide to Howard Hughes, in which Dietrich said he had to get a court order to get his personal possessions out of his old office after he walked out on Hughes in 1957. (The memoir was the first known from-the-inside look at the Hughes empire.) Dietrich had resigned over a capital gains dispute---Hughes had long promised him a new capital-gains deal on some of his income; the resignation occurred away from Dietrich's office and at Hughes's then-home.
"Lock up his office!" Dietrich recalled the long-familiar Hughes order whenever top Hughes executives left, a practise the young Hughes began with the memory of how a one-time Hughes Tool engineer named Reed walked out of the tool company with some critical blueprints by Hughes's father (whose multiple revolving-edge drilling bit invention revolutionised the oil industry and---thanks to leasing more than selling the bits---provided the fortune Hughes, Jr. used as his own foundation) from which Reed developed a rival drilling bit company.
Dietrich wasn't even close to the type who'd walk out with company secrets to exploit (it took him almost twelve years to begin writing his memoir*), but he was so indispensable to Hughes that Hughes just wouldn't let him go without a fight. Hence the court order.
(* -- Dietrich's memoir, by the way, is believed to be the inadvertent source for the infamous Clifford Irving hoax: an early draft of the Dietrich book, for which Dietrich had had the help of writer James Phelan, is thought to have gotten into Irving's hands one or another way, giving Irving enough information to help convince his own publisher that he had the real Hughes autobiography on his hands and in his typewriter . . . at first. It must have rankled Dietrich if it was true, since Dietrich said his first reason for writing his memoir was to leave his children and grandchildren a record of the role he played in the Hughes story.)
You obviously had not just finished telling your Department Manager precisely what you thought of her from a personal and professional standpoint.
Actually, now that I think about it, security wasn't called to help me find my way to the door. Weird.
BluesDuke, thanks for posting the Noah Dietrich story. It was a very interesting read. Howard Hughes is a very fascinating character.
Have yourself a great day!
