The HR thing I posted about never went away and I got fired today. Already applied for unemployment so at least I’ll now get paid while I search for another shitty job and I won’t be spending $300 a month on gas just to get to work.

It’s kind of a relief in a way. This job was a major source of stress for me and it’s not like I’m the only person they’ve fired recently. They’ve been letting people go left and right, getting rid of long-time veterans to cut down on wage costs I suppose, so I’ll just take the L, chill the rest of the day, and try to get some things done around the house.

    Hey I’m sad to see you’re now going to be spending time looking for employ again, but same time I’m glad you dont have the stress over your shoulders. Stress just festers and eats away at you and makes you angry, sad, and a whole heap of other negative shit.

    If they’re letting go of long-timers there’s some shit going on there and while it might be nice superficially to have not been shit canned, sometimes the added stress on everyone else who now is expected to just absorb the workload isn’t worth surviving not being fired. I’ve been in both spots and I think being fired is more stressful upfront but being left over after a firing is just long term stress. Any place that is offing the long timers, the ones who know where every single switch is, all the hidden shutoffs/breakers/procedures, is shooting themselves in the foot. Being a long timer tends to mean you get taken advantage of wage wise, but those are the ones that know all the obscure shit that makes the whole thing work.

    Anyway, now you’ve got time to get your posting numbers up, comrade.
