I spent the next 2 hours shutting down my station, and packing my stuff. Even destroyed my client list ( mine was the largest in the branch).
When I got home about 3 hours later, he called me..
Boss- ” Hey Z! Where are you at? I Can't find you in the office.”
Me-” you fired me. Why the hell would I be at work?”
Boss-” it's April fools! It was a joke! Get back In here.”
Me-” no. You clearly said I am fired. I'll be taking unemployment for a few months, and filing a complaint with HR.”
He lost his shit, and I just hung up on him. It's not fucking funny, and I'm taking a vacation/riding the wrongful termination train. He has called me 10 times, and I think HR is calling me now.
Edit: I'm already getting DMs calling me a lazy parasite. Love it.
Edit 2: I kept my physical copy of the client list and destroyed the digital on-site copy.
