Apparently it's so hard to get fired ! We have a new hire in our group who peaces out at 6 pm even during the busy season. FYI, he comes in at 9:45 am each morning, takes long lunch breaks and two Starbucks trips daily. Sends out emails in the morning of if he's taking off to inform the group, not asking if everyone is ok with him taking off. 😂 everyone knows his behavior, even our ED hates him. And yet, the kid still has a job!!!!!

I had a new hire put on my already-difficult client and he bombed hard. Everyone wanted him off the team (from seniors to directors), super awkward, super inefficient, loved to talk over you...but his dad was a partner so he was completely insulated. We ended up getting him moved to another client and he continued rolling off different engagements every 4-6 weeks. Legend has it he’s still drifting between them to this day...

EY1 what office are you in?

Might not get fired in the near future but we did just have a round of layoffs around here not too long ago; might be much less likely to survive one of those

Had a first year get out on pip and then fired after first busy season. He was very weak performer. Nobody wanted him on their team, just couldn't keep up

SFA1's comment has me hoping that someone, somewhere talks about me by saying "Legend has it, El Guapo can do 1,000 push-ups using no hands", or something like that.

My dream is to get fried, coz I have not grown enough balls to do it myself yet, but I wanna be out !!!

Industry vets - in your experience how recession proof is insurance?

I was wanting to hit the job market towards the end of this year, but now I worry that if I do move companies, the recession could put me in position of last one hired first one fired. Is it better to stay put?

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
