Okay so, it wasn't me that was told, but one of my best friends. He applied at my place of employment and got the job. Moved from team lead to supervisor… Awesome!
Until it wasn't.
His boss, also my boss, said he could bend the hours during his interview… Well the upper management found out and started hounding my boss. My boss is a corporate d-sucker … And I mean that with no ill connotation. He will make the upper management happy at any cost.
So they fired my buddy cause he couldn't make the hours they want. (55 hours MOST weeks) But here's the kicker, he's been driving 1000 miles a week to make it to work and told them after January he would move down here. They knew this before he was hired.
They gave him zero notice he was even being considered for termination.
So, while my guy was being terminated he said, “I'm just trying to make a happy family out of the mess y'all gave me.”
The reply from my boss reminded me why I'm glad that I applied at SpaceX… yes I know… My family has a history of being involved in rocketry since the early 1900s. I have epilepsy, couldn't join the military, but I want to work with rockets.
I digress…
My boss's reply, “we're not here to make people happy ____… We're here to make people do their fucking jobs.”
FOH
I'm crossing my fingers that SpaceX calls tomorrow
