What about Monday?

I didn't expect to see any layoffs before at least next month and I was wrong. This came as a major shock to me. Now I'm nervous and I'm having trouble accepting that is over. Is there anybody kind enough who might be in the know who can confirm that... — read more

Stopped doing my job

I have quite literally stopped doing my job and my boss has not even noticed. Yes, I check in and respond to emails, but I stopped doing tasks. I wonder when she will notice? Then I can get laid off and collect severance.
