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 !!!

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?

Was she just being nice or do I actually have a shot?

The only women at my agency who get praise and recognition in all-staff emails are less than 5 years into their career or executive assistants.
