That’s funny and all, but the real answer is call in sick to fuck with them, provided it’s the kind of job with sick time/vacation time.

Take a couple sick days and spread a rumor that the boss is gonna fire his lover because he/she also fucked his partner.

You know what sucks? For all the employees there, including HR, they would definitely sympathize with the person pulling this.

The people at the top however? CEOs and whatnot? They wouldn’t fucking care. I don’t even think they would have an ounce of sympathy.

That’s the reality.

Saying something implicating a protected class like “I’m pregnant” might provoke some panicked calls to HR and actually get you off that list.

They’ll most likely just grab a cupcake, shake your hand for the twins announcement, then let you go five minutes before quiting time.

I think I would try to not waste any more energy on the place. But reality is I would waste energy being emotional about it for a while. Honestly there isn’t shit you can do as revenge that will make up for it. Other than maybe getting a much better job.

Well technically the worst (but absolutely legal) thing you can do, from their perspective is to be very well versed in your rights for the state or province you’re in. Is it a dismissal without cause? Then what severance are they offering? Did your negotiate it? Basically they’ll want you to sign something and promise not to sue - in exchange to signing this they’ll offer something. Negotiate that… Usually in the form of X weeks of pay per years of service at your employer, but X can vary and be negotiated. You can also negotiate a referral letter from your boss even though companies usually say “we don’t make referral letters” - as part of my package negotiation you will…

I hope it helps!!

I was torn up because I had to fire a switchboard operator who just couldn’t make it in on time. It’s one of those jobs where you have to be there when the business says it’s open. She got some warnings and then within a week she was late again. I had to fire her. During the termination meeting she said “This is harder for you than it is for me.”
