I am fairly sure that I am being laid off with other Sr. Engineers tomorrow and need some ideas. Basically, I saw a calendar mistake by HR, so oops!

Meh. It's gonna suck for a bit, but whatevers. Life is more important than a shit job. :)

When my promotion to assistant-to-the-VP at my old job was ripped from me AFTER my replacement was trained I was given the news in a semi exit interview:

Went in to see current boss. She informs me what happened. I tell her that I already know as the VP told me about it already (and cried, he needed the help and was now not getting it and knew I deserved the job). She says she figured as much and offers me 2 weeks of further "work" where I can come in and job hunt instead. I say no thanks, stand up, and walk out.

Called the President and scheduled a 1-to-1 meeting with him over this as I knew it was his brother whining to him about me that caused this all to happen and wanted to give him a chance to unfuck his decision. Fucker spent 20 minutes bullshitting me and was clearly squirming when I didnt budge.

I should've punched him, being the bigger man ain't always worth it.
