You'll be fired from the mail room, but you'll be eligible to apply to be a subcontractor with Mail Room Supply, Inc. As a subcontractor, you'll be eligible for the standard hourly rate of $9 and you'll have the freedom to arrange for your own healthcare, own payment of all contractor taxes, and own retirement. You're also required to purchase your own Mail Room Supply, Inc. uniforms, but there's an easy payment plan for those that cannot afford them. Conveniently, your assigned work location at Mail Room Supply, Inc. will be in the basement of Acme Corp., where you used to work. (Work location not guaranteed.)

You'll be sent home without pay when conditions find the mail room short on mail, but you are required to be available for work the rest of the day, just in case the delivery was late. You'll be repeatedly told how much more convenient this is for you.

Including purchasing your own uniform and tools (which you did at the "company store", often with "company money" (scrip), which you could only spend for products (food, drink, etc), there anyway.
