This is going to be quick.. and ugly.
I was fired today. Well, let go. Sounds nicer that way, not to mention you qualify for unemployment. 8.5 years at the damn place and not so much as a warning that it was going to happen. Bastards. My boss told me the following:
"We don’t have much work (not what he said a month ago when I asked him for something to do) and based on the goals that he set for me last year (um if he set any he never ever communicated them to me) I hadn’t made any changes, so if there was work, he didn’t think I had the bandwidth to do it. It would be better for both of us if we just parted company now."
Better for whom? Certainly not me and my kids.
Screw bn.com. Shop at Amazon. Their prices are better and I suspect they treat their employees better. 8.5 years I was there and I was branded by association with a particular project that turned out not so popular. I was banned from working on other projects because of it. They set me up to fail, stuck me off on the side where there was nothing to be done.
I’ll work on my resume tonight, have myself a margarita and start job hunting tomorrow. I can’t say if I’ll be posting updates to the WIP Wipeout tomorrow, I hope you all understand.
Damn.
