dearest about-to-be-terminated,

it’s only a matter of time. http://www.firedworkers.com

when it happens, when they come for you,

they will do so like the mafia,

showing signs of a long friendship or

what they term a family oriented atmosphere---

you’ll be led to a public place if you were

important,

somewhere outside the actual workplace

so that you will not make a scene,

and when your world comes crashing down

you will be unable to show any emotion

whatsoever,

like so many hollywood scenes of firings on the

big screen,

except,

you are not an actor,

and this is not a movie.

 

if you are lesser than important,

something of a soldier in the common trench,

then you may not even be fired---

you will be “let go,”

and when you are terminated,

those that worked with you won’t even know it until

monday morning,

because they will rid themselves of you on friday just

before the day ends.

 

on monday,

management will round up all the surviving

wage slaves

and explain to them that you are

“no longer with the company,”

just like they learned in management 101

when they pledged to w***e themselves to corporate

in hopes of getting a bigger pile of scraps than you

from the table.

 

when it happens, they will take as much as they can from you,

any severance pay or vacation time that is supposed to be yours,

will be wrestled to the death & you’ll be denied a

health care cobra,

if you had health care to begin with.

 

and know that your story is not special,

no matter how bad you think your own circumstance is

regarding your personal termination,

someone out there has been treated worse

and they are in court,

fighting their place of past employment

just to be able to collect unemployment insurance

until they get back on their feet---

your ex-job will do the same if they can---

many have lawyers in their pockets

waiting,

just to do so.

 

so until the day that it actually happens,

don’t trust anyone,

keep your mouth shut &

watch your back like your life depends on it,

because

it

does---

you’re just another piece of garbage

ready to be dropped into the acid vat---

it’s only a matter of time.

 

if you aren’t looking for a better job while you are working your current one,

you are asking to be eliminated.
