Today, it's been two months since I started a three-year contract at a new job. So far, 5 people have resigned. Pretty sure I've joined a sinking ship. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after getting my dream job and quitting my old one, I was told my position is strictly "experimental" and will only last 2 months. FML
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, I went to ask my boss for a raise. Turns out they are firing 35 people. I wasn't on the list until I asked for a raise. FML
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, I received an email from a temp agency trying to hire me. Surprisingly, it was the same job I was just laid off from after two years of great employment. They were trying to hire me at half my original salary. FML
Today, my boss admitted that he seriously regrets hiring me, but can't really do anything about it because that would make the senior management question his judgment, making him look bad. So he's just 'putting up' with me. FML
Today, I finally started my job as an in-home caregiver. The man I was hired to care for died two hours after I made it to his house. FML
Today, I showed up for my first shift in my new night job; I now work at an apartment complex during the day and at a gas station at night. It turns out that our biggest problem tenant in the former happens to be my boss in the latter. FML
Today, my coworker insisted there must be an underlying, romantic reason for why I spend so much time teaching him everything, and that I didn't mean it when I told him that's what I'm paid to do. I'm actually supposed to train this guy for three weeks. Two more weeks to go. FML
Today, my life became a lot more depressing. A while ago, some friends and I founded a "Forever Alone" club, because all of us were single at that time. I'm now the only member left. FML

Sounds like my previous employer. they can't keep help and then wonder why

If it was going out of business, why would they hire people?

I agree. Let's just hope it is a weird coincidence. :)

I'm thinking it may be more like a bad job in terms of treatment or pay/benefits, so they have to hire replacements for people that quit

#20 So he has millions coming his way? That's after he goes broke and starts stealing.

I think it's highly probable that there was a leadership change first and those who quit didn't agree with the new direction or culture shift that's happened as a result. So they quit.

Best of luck to you but at this point in time any ship that pays is a good ship. Just make sure you plan a life boat for when it goes under.

Maybe you can start looking for a back up just incase. Good luck!

A captain goes down with the ship...

Not before trying to save it I would assume :p

Unless you are the captain of the Costa Concordia where you intentionally sink the ship and be the first one off.

Might not be the job, might be they can not stand working alongside you?
