Laying people off?

[gnihcraes]

2001, I didn't think I'd be in the layoff, wrong. Boss called @ 8:15am, never hear from the guy usually. I told my co-workers it was nice working with them. Last they saw me.

Offer package on the desk, can't tell you what it is, take it or leave it. Sign here on the form. $8000 check, severance. Turns out it's listed as a "Bonus" on the taxes and IRS got %50 of it. f*ckers.

We are pushed out the back stairwell loading dock, told to follow the line of people walking over to the Marriott tech center where they had counselors and job recruiters to help us. Along with some additional stuff later on. All of it ended up being not worth a dang.

I worked my ass off for that fortune 500. O'well. Move along, eventually landed where I'm at now with government agency that has been challenging to work for. Shut up, do my work and go home.

Wow, that sounds like a shitty experience, sorry that's the way it worked out.
