I like to think of myself as irreplaceable...Mrs. labette assures me that in reality, I’m the only person stupid enough to do the job this cheap!

“I can’t get fired, I’m self-employed.”

In that case, your boss just stops paying you.

Honest. Just happened to me.

Truth is, that if your’e at the bottom you get stepped on, If your’e at the top you get sniped at. If you are middle management you get it from both ends.

It is what it is

Instead of deserved raises, your company now offers cheap prizes and phony, unrealistic incentives in lieu of raises, and suddenly everyone goes from salaries to being paid on a commission basis.

When this happens, you know things are going down hill fast.

I just helped my son-in-law through a period of “unjust firing” by a uppity, self-serving female. Advised him to write a letter to the home office explaining the circumstances about his dismissal and requesting a company investigation in to the possible unjust and “illegal” termination of his position. The HR people and lawyers were falling all over themselves and he got his job back, a bonus, personal cellphone number of the President of the company and offered training as a district manager.

There is justice in life. You sometimes just have to use PSYOPs and the cunning of a retired Special Forces Sergeant Major to up to and almost terminate someone who is nothing but a rectum to society.....

If you got to go down...go down fighting and take as many of the enemy with you as you can.....

Hey it’s not a big deal you got fired. Pretty obvious you’re defensive about it. Sure you’re a nice fellow and all...

Hasn’t happened in 28 years and I’m pretty sure it won’t before I retire.

9. Your company car is a Yugo.

10. The owner of the company keeps referring to you as “that new guy Harry hired right before he was fired.”

Sounds like a lot of places I worked in Silicon Valley. The tech industry in the bay area is a festering hive of moonbats.

The cubicles around you continue to be emptied.....(This is happening to my husband as I write. The remaining are waiting for an “announcement.”)
