Work, work, work.

I've waited a few days to post this.

I'm at a temp assignment that doesn't feel like tempwork because I worked here last year and turned down a job with them to go to school.

On Monday the manager for our department returned from vacation, and was having trouble logging onto the computer. He was called into the supervisor's office. He returned with a shell-shocked face.

He was fired. Effective immediately. There wasn't a dry eye in the department as he stumbled out of there with a box of his stuff.

How utterly humiliating.

Ouch. I'm sorry you all had to go through that. My company is known for handling terminations inappropriately, so I've witnessed many similar scenarios, and it's always been awful. During a large-scale layoff a few years ago, we were all forced to sit at our desks for three hours while people's phones rang one at a time to summon them into the director's office, where they would be let go. It was like a combination of Russian roulette and water torture. Stupid, callous corporations.

That has got to be the worst firing story I've ever heard.

O.O

This is a small, intimate non-profit that provides health care for low-income families. It didn't strike me as the sort of place that would do this.
