Yesterday I asked my manger what would happen if a goal he set wasn’t met. “You’re fired” When I mentioned those consequences seemed a bit severe, he replied he was joking. Hilarious, right? I explained that if I got fired I wouldn’t be able to afford my rent or food. So, no, I did not find his jest humorous and the next time he “jokes” like that I’ll assume he means it and leave immediately and find a new job.
