Thumbs up Whoah

Well, it was bound to happen... Hell, I've been half WISHING it to happen, and it finally did.

My useless office mate, typically referred to as "The Troll," just got canned. WOW. We've all been WONDERING just what the fuck he was going to have to do to ACTUALLY get fired, and apparently he finally reached the limit of uselessless and got what he had coming. While I don't wish unemployment upon anyone, especially in this economy, I do feel like things will run more smoothly and efficiently (even if it means the 2 of us left in the department will have more work to do).

WOW.

Yeah, usually they kiss enough ass that they stay, and the ones doing the work get canned.

It is funny when a company cans you, and then calls begging for you to come back a week later

Not at my work. We fire people who are good at their job. The dead weight often stays.

You and I must have worked for the same company a few times! Do a sub-par job and kiss enough ass, you should be safe.
