Unbelievable! This happened yesterday - The owner comments what a rough surgery and asks how I'm feeling acting like he gives a crap. Come to find out while I was recovering they realize the new software going live in 2 weeks will do all of my job. I was shocked then he says "yea we gotta trim the fat around here".

Guess me and my new self will find a better place to work. Sorry had to rant.

How awful! Love the use of his terrible pun there. I'm sorry! I will probably be fired from my job soon as well...

I really hope you don't lose your job also. Hang in there!

I'm not sure if this was answered already, but where are you from? Doesn't FMLA protect you against getting laid off? Or, maybe it wouldn't even be worth the fight anyway. :-(

I'm in Dallas/Fort Worth area. I didn't take FMLA because I wasn't out of the office very long.

That's just rotten. I hope it turns out to be for the best. Find your dream job :-)

Not all changes are good but be sure that along with your weight loss and a new job, you will be motivated to make all kinds of changes in your life. That's what it is all about. Good luck to you and may your next job be your dream job.

Typical guy <-------- I quickly read the title and my guy mind quickly saw....

."got laid 1st day back from surgery" .....................

I was all ready to high five ya........... Talk about awkward....

Maybe this will be one of those " a door closes and a window opens" things..... Best of luck...
