Working for Layoff

Kind of funny working in an environment where almost everyone WANTS to be laid off.

I think the majority are looking for an "Exit Fee".

Most people realize that work $ u c k s so they do every creative thing possible to still get paid without working.

I'd like two or so years, then let me go.

I'll get 104 weeks pay when I'm laid off (or surplussed) and that will likely happen soon.

It's so easy to stay while putting in the very least amount of time and effort without getting fired and taking paid days off for all the many reasons we can get away with, all along laughing about how sooner or later getting the payout to leave. Also laughing at the bootlicking @$$ kissers who'll say negative $chitt about me. But know that I just don't give a f u c k.

“ Want to be laid off, but yet you stay.“

Yup, it’s called severance Einstein. I make pretty good dough. Why would I leave 6 months salary on the table?

Most employees and that I know would love to get laid off and have clearly told this to their managers - most of whom also want to be laid off.

@a9 false. I know someone that has begged their manager in the Abraham/Press org and were told no for a year now. Many people in CTX would be glad to be laid off and out of that he-l hole.

Once you say a word, this place targets you. So no thanks.

@a9 , it doesn't always work that way. You could be made a target (for contrived PIP, etc.) if you “raise your hand”.

If any employees really wanted to be laid off, they would have already told their supervisors, placed on a past surplus list and be gone. Employees continuing to say they want to be laid off are the ones who usually cry the hardest when that call finally comes.

I’m a wireless tech and easily 60% are about desperate to get away from this place. Most still were the golden handcuffs though.
