HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron

Great story on how you handled it. And totally agree with you on the IT guy. What a douche that he just couldn't give you a heads up.
the insulting thing out of it is I paid for his beers! he KNEW I was getting laid off and didn't say "hey...maybe I should be paying for these" nope, gladly accepted my money. He tried to contact me after the fact and I just blocked him.

Christ... And people rail against claims that there's sexism in [any_industry]
OBJECTION!
Men can be hot too.
Furthermore, I don't know if @[email protected] is a man or a woman neither do I know their sexual orientation.
So my comment was pervy, but not sexist. I deny the allegation!

The only good thing about getting laid off is 1) you can at least collect unemployment 2) It's easier to get another job because you weren't simply fired
wrote last edited by [email protected]The best thing about getting laid off is still getting paid but not having to go to work.
Having responsibility that they don't want you to abuse, and having a robust social net that requires employers to pay out an employee for a specified time (mine was 3 month) is amazing. (Go Belgium)
A full 3 months of vacation and plenty of time to look for other jobs.

CANT YOU SEE HOW FREE WE ARE?!
Free to die you mean?

Damn Europoors hating their (HR departments') freedoms.
They are free to fire anyone they like. They are however not free to ruin peoples lives.

Overruled.
Sexism isn't gender-restricted, reducing either gender to a sex object is sexist behavior. -
It probably reduces the chance of male workers telling them to fuck off. Or the higher ups hire those so they can sexually harass them
Or take them to a Coldplay concert.

This is why I don't like to roleplay with you.

What's the difference between being laid off and being fired?

You can't collect unemployment if you get fired.

Ready to be laid off, i can feel it coming considering the economy feels like its on stilts and my company scrapping the bottom of the barrel for projects to work on.
I don't own anything and don't have anybody.
Prepared for my NEET life.

You can be sexist to both women and men.

The two or three juniors they'll eventually have to hire to do the job
Which turns out to be a ton more costly than just paying the employees raise.

You can't collect unemployment if you get fired.
Yeah you can. You forfeit UI if you quit voluntarily. Youād only lose it if you got fired for doing something illegal, I think

HR lady once spit a whole ass pack of lies about my work performance, and had cut off my email access so I couldnāt prove her wrong, which would have been trivially easy. Realized before I spoke up that if the HR director is lying this bad, thereās no reason to even try to āproveā Iām right, just a really toxic company.

Nice. Equality at last.

This is why I have so far refused to be a people manager. I'm not going to be able to emotionally handle laying someone off.
Same, I couldn't take it. It's hard to be in that position without feeling like a traitor.
Actually both times I got laid off my managers took the day off to hide while HR did their wetwork, only reaching out later to gush about how bad they felt.
Kind of cowardly tbh, but I get itāthat's why we aren't managers.
