The owner came in bright and early to inform me that it will be too hard to keep me on staff at my salary after my biggest client decided to hire some punk ass freelancer.

That blows. Sorry to hear it.

Should we turn this thread into a discussion about appropriate revenge tactics, or are you bowing out gracefully? :D

That's a downer. Although, I was once laid off and it lead to one of the best summers ever! Make the best of it.

You should take the advice of Sam Kinnison:

"LIVE WHERE THE FOOD IS! YOU LIVE IN A DESERT! YOU LIVE IN A F**KING DESERT! NOTHING GROWS OUT HERE! NOTHING'S GONNA GROW OUT HERE! YOU SEE THIS? HUH? THIS IS SAND. KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA BE A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW? IT'S GONNA BE SAND! YOU LIVE IN A F**KING DESERT! GET YOUR STUFF, GET YOUR $HIT, WE'LL MAKE ONE TRIP, WE'LL TAKE YOU TO WHERE THE FOOD IS! WE HAVE DESERTS IN AMERICA -- WE JUST DON'T LIVE IN THEM, A$$HOLES!"



(meant to cheer you up.)

So what are they giving you? Severance? Employment through a certain date or do you have to be out by the end of the week? A goodbye hummer from the company secretary? A big ol' "F-you"?

There was mention of a couple weeks severance, and they will use me for freelance and the owner was/is very sincere about losing me but being 40 is not the best age for this market, so maybe I'll regroup and head in another direction. Or maybe not.

Nah - I think watching a downward spiral of the inestimable SB would be quite entertaining! Sort of like Blue.... only less retarded. :D
You are assuming he has far to fall before reaching bottom. I think it would be more like wathing a skydiver jump out of an airplane that is still on the ground.

You know that the pro sponsors frown upon drinking during competitions, right?
