So today 8 of us, about half the temp staff, go marched into the "meeting" (i.e. firing) room, and the speech went like this:
"We were expecting a much larger volume of work, about 4k modules a day, and we're getting barely 1k; we haven't got the money to keep you working so you are all on one week's notice"
We talked about this previously and the were like "we had a solid numbers projection, we didnt expect this low volume"
Me: "what do you think this is due to"
Them: "a lot of them are going through the portal"
...
Or in english, "we didnt expect people to use the internet".
Anyway, one week notice, ill prepare myself mentally and start looking again.
Except when he was done with the firing, he quickly says "can you and john stay"
And im like, "dude are we getting double-fired?!?!"
Short laugh but yeah. We got double-fired.
Me n' one other guy have "i dont even know how you guys have these" contracts so we don't even get 1 week of $$$.
Totally still up for job offers if you got any.
And that is the story of how i got double fired.
