"Emotional Trifecta" in play
Today (Tuesday), I came to work, and found out the Corperate Wonks were coming down. (I'm sure many of you hear the impending drums).
Seems as if, the Corperation is losing money, so they are consolidating operations. You guessed it... They fired the whole lot of us as a "Cost saving" procedure. Gonna streamline operations and all that.
So, technically, I am unemployed at the moment.
::sighs::
Ok, now the levity starts.
Part of our severance package is that they will pay us for all of our vacation time and sick days. Which, Accounting reset as of Janurary 1st.
So, I'm getting 3 weeks of vacation pay, 1 week of sick pay, plus the 4 weeks of regular pay as a settlement package. Had they fired us last friday, I would only be getting 4 weeks regular pay.
Now, it gets better. They offered our two lead programmers (who wrote the programs they want to use) a chance to relocate, and stay with the company. They both told them they weren't interested. They quit, leaving them (the corp) with no one that knows the code to the programs.
If anything goes wrong with the code for our programs, THIER programmers are gonna have to search thru lines of code to determine the error.
They didn't bother to get our customer list. So they don't know who is using the programs.
They neglected to get the passwords to our software, our computers, our servers, our websites, etc, before they did this. *I* am the keeper of all of those. But I don't work for THEM anymore. ::gosh, where DID I put those list?::
I am also the Registered Owner of all the sites they want to take over... You can see where that is going.
So, bottom line... Relatives die, get fired from job...
Too bad I'm not married or seeing anyone. I coulda hit the Trifecta, and scored some Major Karma points.
I'd be crying if I wasn't laughing at all of this. I just want to know, what Major Diety did *I* **** off?
