Just got fired. They said I "didn't fit in" with the organization.

I'm going to get pie because pie makes me happy.

*hugs* Here to talk whenever you want, I've been fired too.

*hugs* that blows. so sorry to hear that.

*bakes you pies*

[in-quinecorners.livejournal.com]

Well, that sucks. But pie is awesome. More pie!

I got fired last year. I kind of wanted to be fired but it was still a blow to the ego. But, it led to bigger and better things. I'm sure it will for you too.

They suck and also are wrong and stupid.

Now you will find a bigger, shinier job, gain huge amounts of wealth and power, and abuse these horribly to strike out at and destroy these wankers.

Ugh, I'm sorry. Clearly they demand lameness in their employees.

Sending you money-energy and *SNUGGLES!!*

I am so sorry to hear this. I was fired earlier this year. It sucked. But you'll get through it. Pie is an excellent idea, for starters.

*hug*

(By "this year" I meant 2008.)

That's Horrible! What a crap reason!

[darktouch.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, not fitting in is a valid reason within the first 3 months. After 3 months, generally you have to 'not fit in' via innapropriate touching. Good luck on getting an even better job.

At UT it's 6 months. Oh and Texas is an "at will" state.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

Ugh, that sucks. I'm so sorry.

[hugs]

[knighthorse.livejournal.com]

Out with the old, in with the new... and better! *hugs*

That makes no sense whatsoever - didn't they just give you additional job duties? Did they give you any feedback at all about "fitting in?"

I know that at Apple they have a distinct and set performance management tract - it might be worth seeing what UT has, since you may be able to object under their stated policies. If nothing else, filing for unemployment might be made less difficult if you put an objection on record.

Boggle. This makes no sense. Do Not Grok.

It does seem they could have said something, instead of coming out of the blue. That's poor management, or possibly looking for any excuse to shed personnel.

[lemonchiffon.livejournal.com]

HUH?! I saw your tweet about this, and I am shocked.

I'm really, really sorry.

[oracle-tx.livejournal.com]

You know all that stuff you just didn't have the time to do before? Now you have LOTS of time! You know how to accumulate loads of Slack for free, play some games, watch some movies, and go enjoy the great outdoors.

Also, check your Feng Shui and make some adjustments to increase money.

Sucks to be them, if "Awesome" doesn't fit in the organization, they have some serious problems.

[gailmom.livejournal.com]

I really hate cop out reasons like that.

losers.

*snuggle*

[acadecian.livejournal.com]

Dude, that sucks. Go eat lots of pie.

[omnia-mutantur.livejournal.com]

That sucks.

I hope it's magic pie.

[nikkita422.livejournal.com]

LAME!!!

You get hugs and choccy.

[velokitty.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. Are you okay? Do you want to get coffee and talk or have a hug?

[dmonbike.livejournal.com]

*hugs* wannawork outside? :)

[gudenna.livejournal.com]

Not cool. I'm sorry.

[bouncyone.livejournal.com]

o_O hmm... I'm curious to hear more.

[nireena.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

[parathalyn.livejournal.com]

That sucks. How are you holding up?

[artemis42]

*shock*

I send hugs and love, call me anytime.

-Me.

[bramblekite.livejournal.com]

That is sucky & lame.

I think you're doing all right if you don't fit in with sucky & lame.

*hugs* & more wishes for better opportunities to come your way.

*hugs*

[missingwatch.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry sweetheart : / Hope you find something better soon!

[kiten.livejournal.com]

If you're not 'fitting in' they must suck. You are amazing and totally the type of dedicated employee they should be looking for!! What asshats. I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

It does sound like they were shedding. Didn't they just give you new work? *hugS*

[drackyyn.livejournal.com]

Not fitting in is a really crappy reason.

For your sake I hope they gave you something else that you just not sharing.

So sorry to hear that.

I'll keep my eyes and ears open for opportunities.

*hugs*

[kisoumi.livejournal.com]

That's MESSED UP.*hug* Pie always makes everything better. :P

Guess you have no excuse now not to come to Boston next weekend for Arisia.

The Pi Con party Sunday night in room 223 will have *numerous* assorted pies.

Also Pi cookies:

Dude, I'm so sorry. Was there a longer reason they gave you as to why you didn't "fit in?"

[austingoddess.livejournal.com]

I did actually catch up on your LJ a few days ago because I remember the raspberry gel pancakes part. I must not have read back far enough.
*hugs!* Hope things go swimmingly and right quick.
