In some places being fired after a clash with someone above your level counts almost as a gift. They know so many ways to make your life miserable without being it noticeable from the outside, so that if you don't wear a tough skin and can't manage the fine art of forgetting about work problems when you walk out of the office until the following day, leaving becomes the preferable option.
- hinkley 1y agoMy bigger problem with stuff like this is the people left behind. Every firing and layoff becomes a commentary on what the company actually values versus what they should value. It’s one of the reasons I prefer to be laid off in round 2. It means they didn’t think you were the worst, but also there’s still severance and they haven’t yet rewarded the most loyal employees with the most pain.
