Hide in the restroom, don’t open the door until HR leaves your office area, and leave a note on your desk saying, “In a meeting until 9 PM.” HR will see the note and hopefully won’t come back. I’ve tried this trick a couple of times, and it worked!

@OP act like a humanoid and they will think you have both robotics and AI skills and they’ll have a change in mind.
So true! To avoid promotion, during sept oct just before AR, start slacking....
Best way to avoid getting laid off is make sure you get paid less. Do an above average job, but never ask for raises/promotions. It's always better to have a job rather than going up the ranks and have a bigger risk of being laid off. Remember, outside of the office, you're on the same level as your director.
Yes, I followed exactly your method and it works.
Class of ‘23! No one was supposed to talk about who was laid off. My “manager” sent a blast email informing everyone I had been laid off. I’m hoping he gets kicked to the curb as insensitively and nastily as I was. Karma!!
Class of 23 as well. Director waited in a conference room and IM’d people to come see him. Coward.
@a5
Class of 23.
I left behind plenty of TPS cover sheets in my office when I Ieft. ;) Hopefully someone got the reference.
when I got my lay off papers in Oct 2023, my director was like a sly fox when she came to my desk and walked me into a conference room then she delivered the news and gave me my walkingi papers and told me to take a hike. HR was not part of the delivery other than preparing the papers. I had no ideal I was on the chopping block.
@OP or paint your face brown so they think you're indian and not fire you for being a slacker white trash who thinks hiding in bathrooms will save him.
Your position at interchode has been eliminated..
