Just got laid off, still hasn't sunk in yet...

[che]

judging by BigN's screenname he could take a job as a lineman for the Atlanta Falcons or a bodyguard for Mariah Carey

What happened to Booty's thread?

What happened to Booty's thread?

it obviously got deleted as I checked the V forum and General Topics and it isn't in either of those places

I don't get how they let a thread get to the good part AND THEN DELETE IT

seriously, do these people like to get a handjob and have the masseuse stop tugging just before you cum?


also, w8m8 got the big "time out" apparently

How about your bodyguard when you do your weekly strip tease on ladies night? Don't the bitches get pretty crazy over your JCVD looks? No homo

I am on the other side of this coin. I am thinking about firing one of my staff.

“Mike” is a loser who was there before I came on board so I inherited him.  He is easily the least productive person in my office.  The other day I heard and saw him clipping his toenails into a trash can in his office.  He often comes in late, leaves early, and is a total slacker.  I happen to know that he went through a divorce over the last year or two and had a long custody battle for his daughter.  My own boss has been very sympathetic and protective of him, which is the only reason I have not fired him thus far.  Eventually, my boss and I had a big falling out over his behavior.  I soon realized that if I was ever going to get rid of him, I first had to get rid of my own boss.  Believe it or not, I managed to do that!  So, now it’s time to deal with him.  

Is there a good way to be fired?

Other units in my organization have gotten rid of people by "reorganizing" the office and certain positions are “eliminated.”  Truthfully, the position is simply retitled and filled with a new worker.  I think that’s the approach I am going to take here.

this isn't the way to address this issue. you gotta talk to him, and instead of approaching him like an unhappy boss, see things from his perspective. get him on your side. let him vent to you about his divorce, his anxieties, whatever. then try to get him to see your perspective. what would he think if one of his employees was clipping his toenails and leaving early and coming in late.

Bollox.  Someone either has a work ethic or they don't.

well, to be fair to him this is an office job. studies and statistics show that only about 3-4 hours of the day are productive and the rest of it are wasted so it's not as if he's unique, he's just not hiding it.

He'll be saving his nose goblins on the mouse pad pretty soon.  Take out the trash, Bay!

It appears you have misunderstood me. I don't need him on my side; I don't want him on my side.  I have zero respect for this loser and just want him gone.  I'm sorry for the problems in his personal life (I believe he has some health issues too), but everyone has personal problems.  That is not an excuse for poor performance at work.  He is toast!

Exactly!

I`ll replace the slacker if it means a job in Maui !! 

[howardroark]

You just hit jackpot. Go on unemployment insurance. Use your extra time to reinvent yourself. Start a gym or something.

[Stavios]

You should ask LiftStudio about how to get rich fast

he is the founder of "Musclephone inc.", after all

Another terrible thread merging job!

I am not a boss, but I completely agree with that way of thinking

i hate to be the only one working when all the co-workers are lazy fucks who should get fired.
When you are not a lazy asshole, you don't care if those kind of guy get fired

[240 is Back]

Bay,

create a situation where the employee is presented with a chance to make an unethical choice, record evidence, and fire him for it.

Try not to make it scream setup, but let the chips fall where they may.

how can I say this, the satisfaction of flipping someone and getting them on your side is much greater than firing them, but beyond that there is a long term advantage. you gain loyalty from that employee and this gives you leverage and in general makes you a more effective manager

[Voland]

I dare you fire me.

Telling people to pull their socks up just builds resentment.  They'll nod and smile and be worse than ever.  And befriending the resident fuckup sends the wrong message to the rest of the staff.

Besides, it's not like he's someone with unique knowledge or skills by the sound of it.  He's just some papershuffler.  You can replace half those idiots with a well built spreadsheet and voicemail.

I've been a member since 2005? Okay, I'd like to share something. I got laid off today. It still hasn't sunk in....not sure what to think. So give me your best shot, act like an asshole because it'll probably give me a nice laugh I hope.

P.S. I wouldn't wish this upon anybody bros regardless of age.

I hate work, well working for the man, I would rather live under a bridge (for real) - better to beg borrow steal to get what you want.
The Pirates said it best

"In honest work, the food is bad, the wages are low and the work is hard. In piracy, there is plenty of loot, it's fun and easy and we are free and powerful. Who, when presented with this choice, would not choose piracy? The worst that can happen is you can be hanged. No, a merry life and a short one shall be my motto.")
