Joe brought that up in his "exit interview". From what he's said, he really gave them an ear-full, in a calm, collected, intelligent manner. So much so, that his boss was on the verge of tears. He told them they were making amistake because he was one of the best reps they had. Boss said, "You are. You always have been." He looked right at her and said, "Yeah, well it's too bad performance doesn't count, isn't it?"
I'm a big girl. Just tell me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Lovin on MM right now. The same thing happened to a good coworker of mine last January. Everyone was baffled as to why she was let go. Um, hello, duh? Maybe that's a sign?

NICE! Go Joe for not making a scene, yet also not going quietly. Beautifully handled.
He actually brought all of us flowers, but he gave me a big hug and said, "It' sbeen a rough week, and Joe's losing his job is a shit thing to happen. I'm so sorry."
Awwwww! I love your boss right now. We need to find Joe a job with a boss like that.

And naturally all of this happens right when the effing Communisits invade.
Sigh.
There's a lot to be thankful for:
We're not destitute.
The health insurance is through me, not him.
We have a great big circle of support and love to hold us up.
