I find the Bobs' lack of faith disturbing (AKA, I got a jobby job on page 2)

Re: The Bobs are on their way

Or you could start building the case of why you're more valuable than the guy next to you. A sucky thing to have to do, I know, but self-preservation is the goal.

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

Two years ago, after more than 20 years with a company, my stepfather was taken to the lake like Fredo.

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

I wouldn't exactly say I've been "missing" it. *chuckle*.

It truly depends on the company. I've been laid off twice; first time, I got a pretty generous severance package: two weeks base pay, plus two weeks for every full year of service. More recently, I got a week base, plus a week per year of service. If it happens and you have unused vacation time, document how much you have accrued and make sure they pay you for it. Fingers crossed for ya.

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

Good luck to you bp. Can't believe that in a dying biz, a company can afford to pay the Bobs. Top dollar probably.

Now, for my Office Space quote:

Re: The Bobs are on their way

I'm not normally one to start threads about myself, but I figured other folks here are either in a similar position, have been in the same position, or soon will be, so I figured what the hell. You guys are perfect. Some good information and advice coupled with a few laughs was just what I needed. Thanks everyone.

If I could, I would take you all out to dinner, and then back to my apartment to watch 'Kung Fu'. Do you ever watch 'Kung Fu'?

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

BP, What would you say you DO around here?

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

Keep your O face to yourself.

Good luck.

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

If anything bad happens, I'll grab a fax machine for you.

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

I wouldn't say I've been missing work.
Sorry you have to go through this BP, no matter what happens.
Maybe the Bobs are volunteering their time out of the kindness of their hearts.

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

BP -- remember: next Friday... is Hawaiian shirt day. So, you know, if you want to, go ahead and wear a Hawaiian shirt and jeans.

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.

 

Re: The Bobs are on their way

I love kung fu.
