Can you come into office please? Shut the door, I have something to tell you about a contagious disease I've been having. Can I offer you anything? Some wrestling, the rest of my soup, some open-mouth kissing?

I'm like "mom" but also... yes, that is true. thanks comcast

I’ve been sitting here and going over the reasons I think everyone at work hates me and I’m going to get fired. I have made some mistakes recently, but a lot of my evidence relies on hidden subtext to peoples words and them using code names to talk about me.

my coworkers also referred to me by several different codenames, such as "Dicksucker Number One" and "The Blowjob Machine." suffice to say, performance has never been my issue.

OP have you started on an amphatamine regimen at all recently? Are you sleeping or eating enough? Do you have hobbies or friends outside of work? This sounds like paranoia from one or all of the above.

Lord Decimus Barnacle posted:Last month my boss sent me an email on Monday saying just “do you have time for a short meeting on Friday?” Lol. My industry was hit *hard* in 2020, and not only because of COVID. Layoffs inevitably came. There was no communication about how many people were being laid off. A few people got canned, and I was sure I was on the chopping block, so every day I was waiting for some vaguely-titled meeting request. One morning, my boss messaged me on Teams and said "Do you have a minute to talk?" I said sure. He calls. "So," he said, sounding upset. "I wanted to tell you this before you heard it from anyone else..." *Long pause* "...but I'm resigning." Gee thanks, dude!

Serious answer for OP: no you didn't get fired. If or when you get fired or laid off they will do it in a meeting and it will be explicitly stated that your employment status is terminated. Depending on what your benefits and job is there may be some paperwork to sign, explanations of benefits, PTO payout, severance, etc. If you have to ask, "did I get just fired?" the answer is no. Anything that isn't an informal Craigslist gig will make it 100% clear, they will not leave a situation open for interpretation.

My coworkers seem to dislike me and are using strange phrases such as "Why haven't they kicked out the hobo who sleeps in the restroom", "Oh my god, he took poo poo in the coffee maker" and so on. I don't have any paperwork on hand, but I'm pretty sure I was hired at one point, so this is really disconcerting

The first and only time I was fired I was lashed 100 times, made to drag a crucifex with my bloody hands through the dirt and hot sun only to be nailed upon it on a hill. "And ye they shall hang upon this as a memory of the suffering we all have when we do not meet our KPIs. We are not gods, nor immortal, only men under our true lord, the Emperor himself." And with that I bled, and died.

The one time I got laid off, they didn't give us any kind of warning. In fact, the week before we had this big company picnic at a baseball game and they mentioned how great things were going. Then I was sitting at my desk and noticed phones started ringing one after another. When it came to me, the guy (I have no idea who he was) told me to pack my stuff and head downstairs for a "debrief". I had to sign a bunch of paperwork and a security guard led me out of the building after they took my keys and ID.

Last time I got fired, I chased a roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) into a pipe and then I heard a match being struck and heard a loud boom as I was shot into a canyon wall and I made a hole the shape of my body and held out a little placard saying "ouch"

Every security guard I’ve ever met is some schmuck, they could earn a lot of street cred by just letting people loot a bit on their way out

This legit happened to a friend of mine. When COVID started, the company told everyone to stay home and they would call them back later. My friend knew they didn't like her and assumed this was a ploy to lay her off. She never got a call back and never bothered to call them back! The most passive aggressive firing/quitting ever?

I was born rich so i havent worked a day in my life. Never had coworkers. I spend most of my day doing coke and videogames and going to my friends to do coke Nyway, we have staff right? I accidentally implied the crew of our yacht would be let go and they were really upset. I had to apologize to father for my mistake and everything. Though some mean things were said by the crew so we ended up firing them for real. Really ruined my weekend but the new crew is alright
