Every day you hold onto your job the recession gets shorter. Given the choice of being s-canned now or later, the smart guy chooses later.

Depending on whether you are the ONLY one losing your job, I would get decent food for those that are getting the boot, and get crappy mini-mart food for the boss. You know, a microwave burrito, a warm yoohoo and some crappy, outdated "hot" peanuts for the boss and maybe a "clambake" lunch for the real working stiffs. |

dude that totally sucks! I hear ya though, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. What a stupid ass your boss must be, of course all of you are going to say that the outsourcing is gonna be a chitstorm and is going to eff up the company and try to come up with every little problem with it. How does he expect you to give solid rational advice? what a #^&#^&#^&#^&!
I agree with John R., you're prob going to end up better off after this whole deal. My buddy got laid off (well, fired really) and he's now moving closer to his family and friends and getting paid a lot more.

Take the high road, the business world is a much smaller community than anyone would ever imagine. The new boss at your much better job might just be friends with the dork who's asking you to get the food.

Wait a minute...youre getting the boot and he's asking you to pick up his food? Dude thats a no brainer right there. You dont even have to actually sabatoge the food.....just sit there and sheepishly smile at him and ask how it is once he's at least half way through eating....it should make him think twice....

I always do....I WILL leave with my self-respect in tact.
And the IT community is probably one of the smallest, I always seem to cross paths with people in this field |
