Okay, phone format sorry. English is not first language bare with me. Thank you.
Yesterday I watched my boss fire someone over the phone and then inform me this person is no longer employed with us.
Something possessed me and I blurted out “ok. Thanks for the update. Wow, I feel bad for (former employee)”
he stared at me and said “(person he just fired) is moving to a different city so I didn’t fire him. No need to feel bad for him”
I only followed that up with a smile and said “if I were on that receiving end I would take that as being fired. No one wakes up goes to work and wants their employer to call them over lunch to fire them”
This man’s eyes shifted, and just a look of annoyance.. a mask lifted I finally caught a glimpse of a man that tries SO hard to hide.
Pretty sure I triggered something bc one of my close co-workers informed me that he’s asked her to keep tabs on any “mistake” I make and to report to him. Luckily for me, my coworker HATES him with a burning passion.
So good luck boss man, if you want to fire me GOD I hope you have the nerve to do it in person or at least FACETIME ME 🫡
