icarusI'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.

they didn't even give him an hour to say goodbye to everyone. And he was locked out, so he couldn't crash the system or anything.
They were treating him like a criminal, which is just so wrong. The goodbyes was the hardest part.
The department is pulling itself together, but....
