It's always best if you might get sued by the loser in front of you to make it short and sweet. When said person was gone, I would shake, think about throwing up then wonder if they might come back to stalk me. A few did. I always wished I could have said "oh yeah, it's ALL about you. And by the way, you suck for making me do this."Petuniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469356053750265968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-1103342999308237642009-02-01T21:13:00.000-05:002009-02-01T21:13:00.000-05:00Well I am glad that you never had to fire me!

Unfortunately, he recognized me (that bitch who fired him) before I made the connection about who he was (the guy who missed a ton of work, and then pretended to come in over the weekend to make it up). It was still pretty awful, so you have my empathy. (And treat it as a precious resource, because all those personality tests HR makes me take says I don't have much!)Jeanne Estridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096521122802823385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9056035148697929273.post-73316248826713697582009-01-31T10:48:00.000-05:002009-01-31T10:48:00.000-05:00Ooh, yeah, I love that last phrase!Ooh, yeah, I love that last phrase!C.

And I somehow manage to cross paths with the guy that did the laying off on a fairly regular basis. <BR/><BR/>Thing is, I didn't like him BEFORE he laid me off so I don't think I go out of my way to avoid him because he "fired" me. <BR/><BR/>Still, you're right. Very awkard for both parties. <BR/><BR/>Word Verification: <BR/>unmandep - the firing deptCall Me Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144735845209334875noreply@blogger.com
