Your Fired!
Your left speechless, eyes wide open, a tickle at the pit of your stomach and butterflies floating all over your body. After that, you just want to say, why? What did I do wrong,
Then comes the defense mechanism that we all have, I have done everything you asked me to do for you, I have gotten faster at what you ask me to accomplish. I am doing my best.
Then comes the anger. In your mind you are thinking, you bitch, you bastard, how can you do this to me, at this time? I can’t afford to loose my job, not now!
As you sit their listening to the upper management tell you, I have bad news for you, we have to let you go, you just have not accomplished what we hired you for. You have not met our goals. You do not get along with others, or I have heard from others that you just can’t cut it. So you have to go to your desk and clean it up. Pick up your stuff and leave.
After defending yourself, If you are nice about it just say, Thank you for the opportunity you gave me, I have learned a lot working for your company, and just get up and walk to our desk and proceed to clean up our stuff.
If you are angered by this, you start cussing, saying bad things about the manager, your co-workers and the company, and for some, you get physical.
If we are amongst other coworkers, we just say it has been fun working with you, I’ll see you around, good buy. As we are being watched by the management that just fired us, to make sure we do not take anything from the office, desk, or surrounding areas, then watch us leave or walk us out the door. You turn around and face the door one last time with the stuff in your arms, and again, your left speechless, tickling at the put of your stomach and butterflies all over your body.
O Shit, What Just Happened looms over you as you sit in the car seat and turn the engine on.
You just sit their for a fraction of a second, but it seems like forever, turn to the stuff from your desk and look down at it. You look up at the building as you drive out for the last time, thinking this was a mistake, why me, you brassards!
Emotions run deep when put into this situation, your mind wonders, nice and crazy things go through your head, and things just start to happen. Tell me what happened to you. -------------
