kadollanWell, I had a bit of a nasty shock yesterday.
Yesterday was meant to be my day off -- when I got out of the shower, one of my dear friends and co-workers (who shall remain temporarily nameless, as I didn't get her permission to talk about her part of this) was in my bedroom.
"What are you doing here?" says I, since I know she was supposed to be at work.
"I got fired," says she. Turns out her position at our company was eliminated, through no fault of her own. She was offered a severance package, and sent upon her merry way.
"Well, THAT sucks," says I.
Then friend number A, gets a call on her cell from friend number B (who also works with us.) Turns out she saw one of my fellow Ops Leads being escorted from the building with a box containing all of his personal items. I am distressed, as even though he has the least seniority, he is not the Lead I would have voted off of the island.
Then I get a phone call from work.
Yeah...
The Ops Lead position was also eliminated. All four of us got "let go" yesterday -- and lucky me, I got the axe over the phone, because it was MY DAY OFF.
This is NOT ON.
