I was told my Job position was terminated today. Bouncy

So her "job" amounted to wandering the store, looking for customers who look like they aren't finding what they want, and then using their tablet to tell them where to go? That's something a high schooler should be doing! She should have "reinvented" herself by becoming something unique, something requiring special knowledge, like a pharmacy technician.

I have substantial sympathy, usually, for someone who's been laid off, but a 60ish adult whose education and skills have them qualified for a job suited for a high schooler or junior college student? What has she been doing the past 16 or 17 years?!

Posting on a blog full of Losers.

They really do have that as a title for a job, but what they don't have is a severance package.

Dummie thinks her final paycheck is severance pay. Which technically it is I suppose.  What they probably told the dummie is if it worked til the last day it could file for unemployment. Not so if it walks out now.

If I was the store manager I would shove the dummie out the door as quick as possible for the simple reason that the dummie will try to steal every thing that is not nailed down.

^^ Yes.  It's almost unheard of to "give notice" to a firing.  All kinds of potential for sabotage, theft, even violence.  No responsible manager would do that.

In IT, fired and laid off people get the boot immediately - access privileges shut down immediately - for exactly that reason. It's not "nice", but just one revenge-minded person could do a lot of damage.

Yea but just a small one.

Definitely more than a femto-aggression.

I'm reading a novel where a family had to fire the housekeeper for threatening their daughter and being weird.  They let her stay for one more week.  She ended up slaughtering the entire family.  Fired?  You go now!
