Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML

Did anyone else think that maybe he did like him and wanted him promoted, but then the company had to fire some people and he happened to be one who was fired?

Often it's the talented people who get laid off because they're near the top of the salary range for their position, so firing them "saves money". Salary is easy to quantify, whereas the value-add of a better-trained or more experienced employee is sometimes not so easy to put in dollars-and-cents. It's an outgrowth of the current school of "management by Powerpoint slide".

Just because dictionary starts with d-i-c doesn't make you gay if you use one...

I'm pretty sure warpig is kidding. I'm positive, however, that he misspelled "it's." :)

she can't, she was laid off, not fired. it means they can't afford to keep everyone. it's not a personal, or an incompetence firing. it's the reality of many businesses in this economic climate. it sucks, but it's not her boss' fault

It probably wasn't his decision. If she was last hired, makes the most money, or has a position that can be automated, integrated, or outsourced, she would be the most likely to be laid off. Her boss may be on the chopping block the next round.

Read between the lines. He was trying to say you could be laid on or laid off. You chose not to play ball(s), so he's sending you away to keep a lesser employee who puts out.

sounds to me like your boss knew you were on the block and did his best to save you, but was unable to.
