Some do. Lay offs.

oh, you said they got fired, not laid off.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #78 on:** March 20, 2014, 10:49:38 AM »

I've seen ppl make like 200 calls a day and not be able to enroll anyone and get fired. I think they were doing their best.

I agree with Wacky. A lot of people "do their best" and still get fired because they can't do the job.

This is true. I've just always been at places where it's pretty hard to get fired, I guess.

Same. I've seen it happen but they have to really want it.

If oscar Weber can get fired from Illinois, anything is possible, guys!

Yeah, it's happened once that I know of in ten years or so. the guy was very disgruntled, but he told a client we were very busy (or too busy to do something) and they canned him for it. But he bitched constantly and butted heads w/ the boss all the time and stuff.

I've known cases where someone hated one of his employees and wanted to fire him for a very long time, but he ended up just waiting until a round of layoffs to do it because it was too much work to document why the guy needed to be fired or something.

I helped Felix Rex through HR crisis 2010'ish by suggesting this. Or by faking the layoffs at least.

This thread is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Obama is not cool and he certainly isn't black. He's a dork who's day to day life is entirely scripted.

Nobody should care if he fills out his dumbass bracket on dumbass tv. There are like 1000 other channels to watch. That Fox Sports 1 channel for example, it actually shows highlights and they have that gorgeous blonde with legs that are 9 feet long who makes me forget that I even like sports highlights. Does anyone have a link to her filling out a bracket, because I would enjoy watching that?

Now that's an fsd post if I've ever seen one

Obama bracketology is cool, between two ferns is fine.

Reporters are just relieved to have any access. When AP is saying you have the least transparent administration in modern American/Presidential history, you pretty much have to take that reality to the bank.

Now even more stories about the scripting and time limits for the press. The same type of things that used to get Republican presidents and administrations excoriated by the MSM.

Can confirm. I PIPed my ass off and fired/laid off three lost causes. Also got slapped with two (2!) EEOC complaints. Both were quickly dismissed, but here's a fun fact: the lady who accused me of being racist, sexist and maybe something else for firing her then emailed me asking for a letter of recommendation about 6 months later. She was all "I understand if this is awkward for you but I'd really appreciate it..."

I'm not sure why, but I always thought 'teve 'ave (tool) and felix rex (tuck) were both boys. In hindsight I'm not sure why.

LOL @ HR personnel
