Express map to Fired in just a few words
Posted on September 11, 2006 9:33 AM
Getting fired can be a traumatic experience. Few people want to go from paycheck to unemployment check. And having to explain to a prospective employer your reason for being canned involved your boss's desk and a heavily scorched coffee cup can be dismaying for anyone. Trust me on this one.
Sometimes the job just isn't right, and hearing those three sweet words ("YOU ARE FIRED!!!!!") from your direct supervisor spoken as a volume high enough to etch glass is just what you need for some time to recharge while living off that biweekly check and a carefully assembled store of Top Ramen and Chef Boyardee.
If you can't quit, you have to make yourself noticed in such a way that even the most terminally incompetent of managers will realize that your dismissal is more important than her headcount. There's a pretty good list of things to say when you just don't care anymore...
I can see your point, but I still think you're full of sh*t.
I like you. You remind me of myself when I was young and stupid.
And your crybaby whiny-assed opinion would be...?
Who lit the fuse on your tampon?
I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
