the breakdown..
so yesterday, i got to work at about 9:30am.
they put me in video which is kind of odd (for reasons i don't feel like typing). I was supposed to leave at 7. at 6:30 my boss pages me and asks "where are you" *oh, i'm in the jazz room checking mail* "oh ok" *why, what do you need?* "i need to talk to you" *oooooh*
I knew what this was.
Every tower records everywhere was laying off 4 people yesterday. ONe of them being the deposit person, and three other people. IT wasn't who the managers chose, corporate had their own selection. Because to the people in Sacremento, we're not people, we're numbers.
Hi. I'm 82913, how may i be of service to you?
So i get to his office and he pages Kathi and asks her to his office as well. So we're sitting there, he walks in and says "so i have some bad news for you guys"
we both said at the same time "yeah i kinda figured"
*so whens my last day?* "today".
What the fuck kind of bullshit is that? They expect us to give them 2 weeks notice, and they can cut us off with the snap of fingers.
We didn't get fired. we got "Laid Off" . its weird, that sounds like such a grown up terms. 21 year olds don't get laid off, 45 year olds do, from their corporate office jobs and then they go through mid life crisis junk.
my boss said he wants to hire me back if they let him (cos 3 people quit in the past week). haha they really love me at my job. too bad Sacremento doesn't.
Fuckers.
Anyways, now im jobless, which sucks pretty hardcore cos i was gonna buy a car, and i needed a new *expensive* camera and wanted to go to school
(which was the whole purpose of the damn job...to save money).
The reason they laid pepole off is cos they want to go "public" (stock junk) and they want to look good on paper.
Wow. The more i think of this the more outraged i get, but in a very passive kind of way.
I care, but i don't care.
having no green can really suck tho.
whatever.
anyways i need a job.
i can wash windows. dance jigs. and run ticket master.

That sucks dude. I guess I probably won't get hired at my local Tower then. Shizza. We should hang out again and go jump hunting. I hope everything is going well besides the shitty job news and if you can dance jigs then you've got it made. Bye beautiful.
