welp.. it's that time of year... the one where we celebrate each other, life, blahdy blahdy blah. And let's not forget... the time of year when i USUALLY get laid off. that's right people... for now TWO years in a row i've been let go and the year before this started i quit a company. Maybe it's my punishment. HA. You think i'd be really sad, and i am but right now i'm just in shock. My body isn't reacting, i tried to cry and it didn't work so i'm just gonna let it come when it comes. Hopefully i won't be in a public place when i break down and start crying because "i have no friends anymore." Enos knows what i'm talking about. I do have to say something about each time i've been laid off... i get better and BETTER friends each time. The friends i left at Sensory Sweep are the coolest, funnest people i've ever had at work. I WILL miss them... they are so freakin' wonderful.
The lame thing about how it all happened was that they called like twelve of us into a room and the boss says, "welp, we've gotta let more people go.... blah blah blah (message of false hope) blah blah" and then they have someone escort you to your desk, you can only grab your coat and bag and then you leave everything else because heaven forbid you say good bye to your friends while you're packing up? i don't get it. whatever... i'm gonna leave notes for all of my friends tonight when i go pick up my stuff (after 8pm because THAT'S when i'm aloud... STUPID). They even watch you get into your car and drive away... "just to make sure" What the hell is that? Make sure of what? that the only people staying there through THREE that's right THREE missed paychecks (that's a month and a half people).... aren't going to freak out and go postal in the parking lot? what a LOAD. so yeah... i'm kinda glad they let me go because i've been sitting on how i feel for EVER now... and i hate going to work, feeling the tension, being bored with barely anything to do, promised the world and getting sh-t. HOW RIDICULOUS. I've never had more animosity towards a company. They deserve whatever happens to them.

Sometimes, you can only say it with a smiley... er, frowny.
Love you.
Hey you...by the way thanks for commenting on my blog..it creates the "illusion" that someone actually reads it.
As for this..I'm so sorry this happened to you..no matter how rough the situation at work, it's never easy nor fun to lose your job :(
And I vehemently agree with the whole "escort you to your desk and out the door" it is INSANE. Do you really think I'm gonna "pop off" now? I worked in HR at my last job and was a person that had to do the escorting in one occasion..it's horrible!
Sometimes these things are blah.blah. "blessings in disguise"
Good Luck :)
what the heck? i dont understand why you can't get your things right then? it's stupid they make you come back after 8...you'd think if they are that serious about "escorting to the car" that they wouldn't want you to come back to the office either? but...at least you can leave your friends notes. And, did i read that right...that u were not paid for 3 pay periods?! umm..i would freakin' SCREAM! so...are you gonna post more about this company now? i think you should vent. i want to hear it all.
your note choked me up this morning. you will be missed like no other. you and enos are like my siblings so we will always stay in touch. I already miss you folks. hope to see you soon.
i think u should go back up there with a gun waving it in the air and asking for them to gather your things. now thats crazy. they feel the need to walk u out but what would they do if you came back? like u can't just walk right in, am i right?
Too bad you aren't here, I'd fire you from my garage sale.
Sorry Lindsay. That sucks.
okay, hearing more about how you had to leave work made me sooo mad. it's like they purposely though, "as long as we're doing this really crappy thing, how can we make it completely demeaning as well?"
that just sucks!
Okay, I've been thinking about you all week and I have to agree with everyone on how awful this whole situation BLOWS and really what kind of company is this? Okay on that note I also have to agree with Carolina that this may be a blessing in disguise. This will help with the nesting mode that you will be in soon;) You won't have time for work....you'll be nesting! Ahhhhh!
Pooh
I am sorry for all that bad Karma. At least you have Enos and Geoffrey, huh oh and Lucas. I love you dearly and am bitter that they have not paid all you employees and made you feel like a bad seed as they called you if you were negative about not being paid.
Sorry!!!...love you MUTHA
