I went over to Pablo’s after work. He’s a supervisor at work. In the summer, he supervised the night shift that Mike worked. Ryan would see him in the afternoon when he would come in to play his GBA SP in the air conditioned office before work. Anyway, he was having computer troubles so I went to get things working again. He fed me dinner and then I got to work. Took four and a half hours in total. Quite ridiculous but eventually I got Windows XP to install. So frustrating and always such little things that cause problems.
While we waited on things, he told me about work politics and the big meeting where they said I was to be laid off and the supervisors argued against it to the higher-ups in the company, who just didn’t care. So that’s kind of cool. I know the core workers were complaining to me yesterday that there were others that were shittier workers they’d rather see go and that I should have been the last to be laid off. Apparently the supervisors agree.
Too bad none of them make decisions.
Everything and nothing. All this but it hurts.
that sort of cool that there was a meeting about whether to fire you or not, and all the people you knew were arguing your cause. too bad they don’t hold much sway against “upper management”
