  • Bittersweet day in IT

    I was notified that 10 employees here in the office are being let go at the end of the month and that I need to watch their activities on the network closely, they have been told they are going and if they do anything bad it will result in them losing their severance package.

    I then had my annual performance review and was given a raise.

    What a day!
    Don't forget the corn. It's nutritious, delicious, and ribbed for her pleasure.

    Congrats on the raise and Yikes on having to be a watchdog.
    I am a true ass set to this board.

      Congrats on the raise Jack, and don't feel bad about being the watchdog. I can understand the ones who are going may be upset, but if they actually try to harm the company on their way out, well they'll deserve to lose their severance packages.

      Don't let anyone skate, man. Someone may be watching YOU watching them. You don't need to join the layoffs because you feel sorry for someone.

          Don't misunderstand me. You have to do what you have to do. I just don't think it will be a lot of fun.

                I'm surprised that they haven't had their accounts locked and have been escorted off the premises if they are being let go at the end of the month.

                Spend the raise on a guitar
                Fwopping, you know you want to!

                  We have an office very close to Jack's place. Have them send me their resume. I'll see what I can do.

                  I'm still waiting for yours again Ralph
