Well I was just laid off on Monday. Our company announced back in September that our division had been sold. Due to numerous inaccuracies with the company's financial statements and auditing issues the deal dragged on for 5 months until Friday when the sale was finally complete.
Flash Forward three days to Monday morning. I was on a conference call...in other words doing my job at 9 am...when my boss calls me and the other three women I work with into her office and announces that we have all been laid off. Seven people in our department of 14 got the axe. I have never been more floored in my life!!
The thing that pissed me off the most though was when we all had our exit interviews 1) it was via conference call...they couldn't even send someone down to our office in Texas to do it in person and 2) the first thing out of the HR reps' mouth is "First I want to apologize..." Gimme a FREAKING BREAK!!! Apologize are you kidding me?!
It's like I gave this company 5 years and with no notice whatsoever you tell me to pack my shit and get out!
