Don't accept the invite to lunch....you come back and your shit is in a box and security is waiting there to take your credentials.

Fake a gallbladder attack - they can't fire someone on disability.

T here is some HR chooch in the Chopping Block Office but I haven't seen anyone going in or out. Basically anyone who is gone is getting a meeting invite via email. In some cases word has spread about people who haven't even found out yet. HR is the first that should be fired. Totally useless people. Hopefully she gets the ax.

No new updates or news.
I think we're having a department meeting at the end of the day so hopefully I'll have more news. Our group has been hit pretty hard - pretty devastated about losing a couple good people here out of the blue.

Dark sense of humor here:
Go in this afternoon and ask if this would be a good time to discuss a raise.
Keep them off balance I say.
Seriously...sorry about your work mates and still keeping my hopes up for you.

It's a joke, you'll be laughing hard on the inside about what they're spewing.

It's gotta be a good -albeit selfish- sign that folks in your group got canned but not you. I would think all the bloodletting would happen before noon. _

He's always been a straight shooter with us at least. He looked physically ill when he came in this morning, I know this is killing him.

My good friend just left the office without saying anyone to anybody. Got the word at 9am and literally did not say a single word to anyone.

That is how it was here. Announced there were going to be cuts and a reorg and then they dragged it out 9 months before telling anyone who was cut or where you would work. I think they were hoping people would leave on their own so they wouldn't have to give them a package.

Do you know the muffin man The muffin man, the muffin man, Do you know the muffin man, Who lives in Drury Lane? Muffins suck. All they are is cake batter with flour added to thicken the batter. Wanna make chocolate muffins? Mix a chocolate cake batter, add extra flour and throw some chocolate chips on top before baking... Its that easy and fun!
