***If an experienced reporter (of the NYT) is blindsided by a pink slip, what chance does a doofus like you have?***

I get your point Mr. Goldman, but don't imply that someone working for the New York Times, in any capacity, is somehow superior to the rest of us.

I guarantee you that most of us are not a ‘doofus’ compared to good old Jill.

In other words, getting older.

One day I told a co-worker “You know, we have no job security. We could be fired any minute.”

He asked “Do you know something I don’t know?”

I told him “No, I just got a feeling.” Thirty minutes later I got fired. That was in 1984 and I still haven’t been told why.

My then-wife told me that her bosses suddenly became very concerned about her physical and mental well-being. I told her, “Start looking for another job. They are going to fire you.” A week later they fired her.

At the first company I worked at (a semiconductor company) one of the industrial engineers was quite surprised when he saw a job posting for his job on the bulletin board. Sure enough, within 1 hour he was out the door. (Could have put the posting up the day after but I guess it eliminated the awkwardness of his boss having to inform him.)

Some people I'd like fired:

[Organic Panic]

In my former grunt life I went to work expecting to be laid off or fired every day. It served me well because nearly every company I worked for shut their doors eventually. It’s especially common in aircraft manufacturing. Now, I have my own business and I wish someone WOULD fire me.

This must be satire—a white guy at a construction site? Not in the last decade.

Tell the firing party you are gay, they can’t refute it and will be condemned. That will be the last day you have to work while still getting paid.
