so I logged off today due to workplace paranoia. A woman in our department who has been with the company for 13 years was fired and walked out today. No reason. They are changing the position. That is all we were told. She was brought a box and walked out. ISTG. Because of weirdness with my boss and the way he is wording things in email this week, I am convinced I will be fired next week.
Oh yeah, another employee in our dept who works out of another state was fired last week after giving a presentation on one of his projects. They had just had an annual meeting they have and when he was done they let him go and had him turn over his equipment. He had no idea either.
So yeah. I am going to be sending out resumes this weekend. Even if I don't get fired I don't wanna stay there under this VP.
Good god, msbelle. That sounds awful.
Sounds awful..and familiar. If you ave a nagging feeling things are off, trust your gut.
Seriously--be prepared.
Hey, do you remember my cannibal co-worker? I actually accused him of being ready to kill and eat his colleagues because he showed me the two (LARGE, SERRATED) knives he carries to work every day. Along with 250 feet of 550lb rope, fuel, monocular, masses of laptops and storage and solar-powered USB batteries....
OMFG, I'm going to be killed and eaten first, I know it. I mean, I showed him *my* knife, but it's so little in comparison!
Oh jeez, msbelle -- good luck!
Does that guy take all that stuff out of his car??

It’s not the size, it’s the number of hours of combat training.

Does he expect to get no warning of the Zombie Apocalypse?
Also, I guess we can assume he doesn't take public transit to work...

He let me hold his knapsack. It's three sections--computers, other gadgets, survival tools. This comes to his desk every day, and he rifled through it showing me each thing.

He's (down to) about 300lb of semi-pro Greco-Roman wrestling. I'm not interested in going toe to toe without something involving combustion on my side.
