Lmao in my case my computer just randomly restarted and asked for a security pin while I was busy working on something. I learned through our WhatsApp group that we got laid off lol.

Call with HR was when I already knew and nothing like this, I tried to get them to let me keep my $7k MacBook, no chance, literally everything was non negotiable so the call was absolutely pointless.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (6 children)

You should have kept the Mac, seriously. I often had no response trying to get laptops back from employees and was asking HR if we couldn't get a form for new hires to sign regarding company equipment returns. Can't remember the reasoning but HR told me the company is basically powerless to force the issue. In any case, the legal costs of suing you would quickly stack higher than $7K.

[–] biggerBear@lemmynsfw.com 23 points 3 days ago

Sure, I'll gladly send the laptop back, you'll just have to pay my hourly freelance rate for the labor involved. My rate is $240,000/hr, I'll have it shipped out within 30 business days of payment. Alternatively, feel free to send a courier for pickup, my current address is 189 Beaker St, McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

Never bought a Mac before, but what the hell are the specs in a $7k Macbook? I didn't think they went over $3k.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably equivalent to about a $2k PC.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

the laptop I'm working on right now cost me $1600 new in March and it is AWESOME. It replaced a Mac I bought in 2016 for $1800. My son uses PCs. He's bought 4 in the same time period for about $1000-1200 each. Tell me whose computers are most expensive.

Since its clear you are a bad worker leave off a few important task. They can chalk it up later to themselves as proof they made the right decision when those tasks fall through the cracks.

That smile. That damned smile.

I think this is their mask.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Do they get special training on how to lie with a straight face?

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 39 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I know a couple hr people personally, and they speak in a kind of coded manner at work. Some of them will legitimately try to help you out, but of course the nature of their profession means they can never be a true ally. Not for long, anyway.

This sent a bad chill along my spine. PTSD.

Sending Anne Hathaway to fire me? I'll accept that.

I look at this smile and think "There is no HR in Ba Sing Se"

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 43 points 3 days ago

I got an invite for a meeting the next morning. I was like "they wouldn't be that stupid, right?". Well, they were. I had time to prepare something funny but I was disarmed by their stupidity.

[–] Mio@feddit.nu 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Just deline the invite and you are safe ;)

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 32 points 3 days ago

Had a 3rd shift guy I was trying to fire get 3 extra shifts out of us by just not showing up to the meeting and not answering his phone. HR wouldn't let me just shut his account off until the 3rd one. That dude was a real POS for other reasons but I can't knock him for taking advantage of bureaucratic nonsense.

[–] PlasmaTrout@lemmy.wtf 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well at least its suspect enough to prepare :). I once came in at 9am and we had random people funneling everyone into a conference room with HR people to tell us our department would no longer be needed.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (4 children)

This is why Europe is awesome, if they do that here they owe you like 3-6 months of salary.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not just Europe, Aussie here. I got the ol' covid chuck and between lack of notice, untaken leave and long service leave (had been there over 8 years) it cost them $58,000

3-6 months of salary.

...per year worked, depending on the country, but it's more close to 2-3 months.

That's why I decline meetings without a proper agenda. No agenda = lack of preparation = waste of time = not a meeting.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

Finally no longer having to work
It's really been the absolute worst thing in life after "being a kid" and "going to school"

I know the setup is that if you don't job hard enough
then something even worse is coming up
living in the streets, which is illegal
then living in the man made hell
called prison, which is just another kind of school

But this time, by seeing it coming,
turns out there's a way to opt out of the bad bits !

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 21 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I don't get it, why does she need these projects for?

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 61 points 3 days ago

When you get fired they need to re-assign your work to others so they want to know what you're working on.

[–] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 43 points 3 days ago (3 children)

To onboard your replacement after you get fired at 4pm.
