Does anyone ever want to get fired to push them to move on? I’ve been at my firm for 10 years, I make good money, but I’m bored and want a change of scenery. I just don’t want to put in the effort to schedule interviews and go through all that subterfuge. I’d rather get fired and have some severance to cover me as I look for a new job.

I tried it before and even got myself on a PIP. After not even trying they removed me from the PIP and I stayed another two years.
Was really looking forward to the severance check and relaxing 😂

Fired for cause usually means no severance, but we have budgetary layoffs every year that provide severance.

You’re an associate 10 years in? I’m amazed they haven’t fired you. Most consulting firms are up or out.

I’m not an associate. I just haven’t updated my title on the app.

My only fears are how much of a pay cut I have to take for a new job and how long it might take to find it.

Every f*ing day…

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

**I'm not in Chicago
