".."Wrapping up THEIR tasks/ dividing THEIR responsibilities is not my concern. I'm not paid 2 incomes and moving forward I won't be adding any tasks to my workload as it wasn't MY decision to "right size" the team. Have a great weekend".."


"..My company had a round of layoffs today. Unexpected considering the company is profitable and they just hired people. We do IT Project work with the current project due in about 45 days and we’re ahead of schedule. Anyway, my coworker was called into a meeting, terminated, told to grab his stuff, and walked out. This happened to about 10 others at my company today as well.

My boss came over to tell me this was due to “rightsizing” and I was pretty much speechless. About two hours later he tells me I need to stay tonight (Friday) to wrap up tasks my coworker was working on then come in on Saturday for a team meeting to discuss splitting his tasks starting Monday.

When I told my boss I was leaving since I had personal business to tend to this evening and weekend (I really do) he said that this would look bad on me Monday and that he was extremely disappointed in me. I told him I was disappointed in the company and would see him Monday. And they wonder why workers are not loyal or “don’t want to work.”.."

It looks like Middle Earth.

It’s an enchanted land.

I have been through that. Not fun. Stay strong friend.

My grandparents were not American. But I have zero ethnicity; none. I identify as Michigander. That’s it. My history begins the year I was born. That’s how long it takes white people to assimilate 100%.  To me, my grandparents were foreigners.

I am all ethnicity. Can’t you tell?

So, did you ever see that OG Start Trek episode about that? The one with the little whirligig that fed on hate?

It’s not about hate. I told you, you have to be born onto it to understand. You as a Christian should stick to yours. Muslims will stick to theirs. You will do well to remember that. Even better,
WRITE THAT DOWN!

The only people we can really identify with in that regard are Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders. It’s a higher evolutionary plateau; elite.

I just flipped you the bird.
