HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron
-
Everyone in HR at my current company is hot. It almost seems like a prerequisite.
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
-
The two or three juniors they'll eventually have to hire to do the job
Or throw AI at it, because that will work super well
-
Did you get lucky with any of them?

I remember years and years ago when I still a regular employee I got into work one morning to find I no longer had access to any git repos. nothing. Well already knew the reason right then and there. I usually got in before everyone else so by the time people were coming into the office I was packing my stuff up to leave. People were all "where are you going?" I said "well I either got fired or laid off so I'm leaving, I'm not sitting through a bullshit meeting telling me why I was laid off"
wiped the laptop, wiped my externals, walked out, went and sat in a coffee shop to revise my resume. I got a call like an hour later asking me where I was and why I didn't attend the meeting I was apparently schedule for. I replied with "you laid me off" few minutes later they email me back saying they'll just send my ROE and last paycheque in the mail and then proceeded to explain why I and a few other devs were laid off. I didn't bother reading the rest of it.
Then I decided to become a freelancer and never looked back. best decision I made.
What REALLY annoyed me about the whole thing was I thought I was good friends with the IT guy that set up access to everything, he was the one that revoked my access the night before and didn't tell me. I was literally having a beer with him that night and he never said a word. out of everything that hurt the most. never spoke to him again.
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.

Name and shame! That sounds like a horrid experience.
Ah yes, shaming shameless corp always works

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
-
And then?
Oh I still got laid off, just later in the day.
I think it messed with their plans to lock me out of everything after the meeting. Must be logistically challenging lining up all those layoff meetings.

Might save someone else a similar experience.

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.

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!

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. -

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.
