Happy New Year.... You Have Been Laid Off


Just got a call from the HR idiot at a company that I have been at since last May.

Love the way they tell you. They tell you stuff you already know about why they are cutting you lose.

Had I been given a disclosure statement about the company's finances when I interviewed I would not have spent the 2K to relocate 200 miles or signed a 1 year lease on a pad.

The company has not been on time with payroll since October, they have had several property's repossessed, like Mitt Romney would not pay for traveling employees hotel stays when they were on the road because the credit card declined at check out.

Two months ago they hired three people who lived more than 1500 mile away and three days after their start they were let go.

Tonight I am considering my options. I am, hoping that Oregon Worksource has retraining programs for dislocated workers as I think it is time to change direction. I will be making phone calls tomorrow.

Thanks in advance for your concern.

2K to move 200 miles?????

I know how bad that feels.

Check in here from time to time, k?

That's probably why he was let go, for checking in while he was supposed to be working.

It's always a joyous thing, a blissful thing, a wonderful thing, to watch other people pay for the consequences of their actions, rather than the rest of us.

It's high time, too.

Looks like DUmmy rsmithnumbers will need to break out the resume writing skills:

I hope he starves in the dark.

     Let me be one of the first to say **** you rsmith - my guess is that HR finally realized what a worthless tool you are and decided to give you the old heave-ho. The only downside to your new status is that we will be subsidizing you 100% for a while. I'm sure there's more to the story; probably a TwixVoy situation where you showed up drunk or high too many times. Or maybe they read the cover letter you wrote for your wife.

     In any case, own it, DUmbass. How's it feel, knowing 0bama spent more getting to his vacation in Hawaii than you will ever see in your entire life?

[miskie]

Boo-hoo. 

[Tess Anderson]

"A one year lease on a pad" . . .  this guy is so underappreciated IMO - not everybody can write a cover letter like that. Oregon"s UI is much lower than he's used to but he can spend his spare time at auto repair shop lobbies bitching about FOX News some more.

[Dori]

This doesn't make any sense.  A company having financial problems hiring and relocating employees, only to let them go?  

[GOBUCKS]

Thank goodness the pad lease only has five or six months to go.

Surely rsmithnumbers has six months living expenses in his brokerage account.

Has an apartment ever been called a "pad" outside of a Playboy article or this rsmithnumbers post?

The man is a wordsmith.

They must have got hold of one of his cover letters.

I believe he got let go, I don't believe he was laid off though. Probably what really happened is he did his job poorly and/or came up hot on a random piss test.
DUmmies lie all the time.

Too much time during working hours surfing the DUmp.

He shouldn't have a problem getting another job.

He's a DUmmy.

I don't even believe he had a job.

There is that aspect too.

Yes!  That will remedy the situation.  I can't tell you the number of times I've had a burned-out light bulb or a clogged drain and sent "positive thoughts" to it.  It was amazing!  I woke up the next morning and the problem was gone!  Hurrah!

I sent positive thoughts to the clutch on my Toyota Camry.  That, and $90 to the garage down the street, and the hydraulic system has been cleaned and bled properly.  It's a miracle!

Gee, I wonder why the asshole got fired...maybe shit like this explains it...

....This ASSHAT sat at his desk bitching about the terrible healthcare his wife has been receiving for a liver failure issue and the fact that he was geeting calls from collection agency's within a week after receiving the bills......THEN he launches into a ANTI OBAMA RANT.... repeating the birther issue, calling him a communist and stopping short of the N word.

Then he says that MOFO OBAMA better not get reelected or else we are all ****ed,any one who voted for him is an idiot and the he said CORPORATION are PISSED at him and are withholding hiring people ..... I let it go for about an hour and then I asked him if he thought I was an idiot or a person who makes poor decisions, he said HELL NO. I then said you know I got my ballot last week and mailed it right back that day and I voted straight line Democrat including President Obama and I also have given ober $100 buck to his campaign, am I now an idiot, he would not answer me.

I then just went directly to his last point and said I dont get it. Why would corporations want to potentially run their businesses down the toilet just because they are unhappy with the President and his policys... he said cause his policys are killing their ability to make large profits so they cannot hire new help. I said its funny you mention profits, most corps have boasted of the highest profit earnings in the past 3 years. I said you know if I could get hard evidence of a corp that is playing this kind of game I will stop trading with them. I said they are killing themselves if you take into account that for everyone they hire generates on average 3 jobs in the community-s and it multiply's from there. They are the ones who have bad policys.

I had to get back to my desk so I closed with "ALSO if I found out our CEO/President/Owner was playing this game I would resign immediately,

(looks like you won't have to, asshole!)

I went back to my desk.....he was quiet the rest of the night.

     Not only is rsmith6621 illiterate, but he's also an asshole. And now he's fired, and with any luck at all he will remain that way.

DUmmie rsmithnumbers claims he found the one person in the world who doesn't believe he's an idiot.

Hey dumbass. It's not hard to look into a companies finances FOR YOURSELF. I know many people, especially where relocation is involved, who do so. Also, one wonders if this company had not sunk to this point because of the person you put in office. Just desserts for you; not so much for the other likely people getting laid off who voted for the the other guy.

Again I ask who doesn't check this shit out when that much is at stake or is that my finance experience talking and I'm expecting too much from the average dumbass? I thought even without experience most people would at least do a cost benefit analysis if just in their damn head with a little additional digging

[jtyangel]

Tucker he's probably including his deposit in his place and any utility deposits in that 2 k I would bet. I just moved in the summer and the actual move ie truck, gad, food and drink for friends helping was probably around 300 total. Even if I had moved the distance he is and added more gas it would have been under 500. Either that it he paid a mover.

Is this the black guy that famously had his wife stand up and yell at people?

[Karin]

Here's some healing white light and good vibes, RSmith:  I have consistently nominated and voted for you in our DUmmy of the Year competition, year after year.  You tell the most outrageous stories ever, painting yourself in the worst light possible, as a grade-A, pure asshole.  Hard to believe you got the job you just lost in the first place.  Seems to me your true colors would have shone through in the interview. Oregon's "job re-training" is not going to help you. 

And to think, you gave your king over $100.  Wish you had it back?  {snicker}

He still has a job. Who's the idiot again?

Odds are, the "HR Idiot" can also pass a drug screen, as well.
