Thanks, I hate this
Today, after being told two weeks ago that my contract would be renewed, my boss managed to tell me that actually he had other applicants for the job. I will be let go, but he offered me two months extra so I could finish the projects he had me working on. FML

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

Today, I came into work feeling good about myself and my upcoming plans. I left before noon with a box of my belongings and uncertainty about my future, having been suddenly laid off. FML

Today, I got laid off. I spent the last two months planning a conference for my company. They fired me the day before the conference. I skipped my ex-boyfriend's funeral to be at the first day of this job. FML

Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML

Today, it's been less than a week since I finally got a job, after over a year of searching. I just found out that there's about to be a wave of layoffs. I haven't even gotten my first paycheck, and already I'm going to lose my job. FML

I wish road workers had that kind of motivation so they would get off their asses and fix up all the roads they tear apart.

I had that happen before. They told me if I recruited 100 people within a time frame they would take to a very fancy restaurant. I recruited 166. They then told me that after today i was no longer needed, but could I please watch the front desk while they go out to dinner to celebrate the recruiting of 166 new hires. I refused to open the door for anyone, did not answer the phone, and emptied a vending machine on a company card. Then I just left. Screw them.

I was hired at a company a few (ok, it was 20) years back. The engineers worked lots of overtime for months to deliver software on time. Then half were fired THE DAY AFTER they delivered the software. The explanation: they were no longer needed!

Thats what happened with my mom. She got a temp job that should have lasted for 3 months, she worked really hard and finished this one thing in 2 weeks- thats all they needed her to do, so they told her to not come back.

Bottom line is a notice period is the ONLY guarantee in any employment. So your situation is great to put on your resume - get them to write you a letter you can use for the next interview. You can make a lot more money by finishing work ahead of time and moving to the next employer, than you ever will by making work drag out.

You can make more money that way, but only if you HAVE a next employer... for instance, I get paid by the hour, and even if I worked fast enough to finish before my deadline, I'd have to go back to school before I'd be able to get another job. So I get more money by taking my time and stretching the project out. I would feel kind of guilty for procrastinating, if my supervisor weren't encouraging me to and doing it herself.
