Lay Offs - The ONE thing that completely sucks about my job.

Rating:★
Category:Other
You know I really enjoy what I do & I'm damn good at it (if I must say so myself.)

Lay-offs/RIFs (Reduction in Force) are the worst part of HR and management.

Today, I had 3 lay offs and I have 1 firing (poor performance) this afternoon.

The last time we had layoffs was in 2004 and 10 people (2 friends included) lost their jobs. Gladly all landed on their feet.

Who's buying? I need a drink!

    The terminations wouldn't bother me because hopefully people are getting enough warnings that it's not a shock. The layoffs would be hard.....

    Treat yourself this weekend, Mo. Go to a nice spa!
