{{JZ}} I hope this turns out to be a blessing in disguise (and that that boss gets an infection in a uncomfortable place).
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

One of the bosses felt she was "distant."
NOT OK. No warnings? Is that even legal?

Sadly, I'm thinking the reason it was so soon after she got hired was so she wasn't done with some sort of trial period. I know my company has a 90 day window where if things aren't working out, they can let somebody go with no reason other than "didn't work out".
Yep, my office has this. (And What Hec Said about CA having "at will" employment.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What the fucking fuck? And after all the stress and hoops she went through to take that job?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Aw, shit JZ! That sucks!
I know what a blow that can be. I got fired from that one job (that I instantly hated) after three DAYS and it felt like a gut punch...even though I was already searching for another job.
You have my sympathies.

If you wanted to...I would never encourage this...but if you were to say, drop a name and an address, there might be a couple guys willing to do some "executive re-training" with some axe handles for the price of a case of beer...

Now I'm picturing the scene in Repo Man where the other repo guys force Otto to tell him who beat him up and he sends him to his former boss' house instead.

I just hope they don't need any construction done in the area any time soon. You know, for their sakes.

If I could afford it, I'd be booking a flight for some executive crotch-kicking and packing all of my pointy-toed shoes.
