Ouch, I remember those days Posted by turrbo [Email] (#8) [Profile/Gallery] (more from turrbo) on Tue, 27 Sep 2011 17:13:34 In Reply to: OT: Dark day at work, MI-Roger [Profile/Gallery] , Tue, 27 Sep 2011 16:48:33 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I work at a public accounting firm and our industry was hit hard in late 2008 through 2009. Every month during that stretch there would be layoffs which were forced down by the national office. Our local HR director would start calling people down to her office and we would know it was "firing day." Everyone would sit in fear to see if their phone would ring, and it was an awful feeling if a friend's phone rang. We had 3 local offices, and the "firing squad" would start at one in the morning, and move to the other two, so we would know from our colleagues in the other offices when they were leaving. The HR director hated it as much as we did, and usually was crying by the end of the day. I survived all of the cuts, but I still get nervous when I get a call from HR...
