You Are Fired...
Just when I thought I could no longer be impressed by the antics of this management types, now this comes up. The art of firing people have taken on a life of its own. I have heard first hand accounts of the " You are fired emails..", "You are fired conference calls" or the "You are not fired, but you need to reapply for you job, then 24 hours later you get a oops my bad, all the available slots have been filled".
Now this is what happened to a friend of mine. They were at a recruitment show, telling the youngings how beautiful their company was, how much job security there was in their own company. How they were better than every other investment bank and how the market share of those who had fallen by the way side was theirs for the taking. Half way into the show those dreaded blackberrys goes off. They all received the much dreaded email at the same time. Some folks where in mid-interviews with potential trainees. Isn't that ironic?
